The German AvD Oldtimer Grand Prix can definitely do with a bit of glamour.

Historic racing with historic racing cars, a rolling open air museum alike on one of the best racing circuits worldwide, the 38^th AvD Oldtimer Grand Prix, 13 – 15 August 2010, will no doubt be one of the highlights of the historic racing season 2010.

With well over 600 participants, the AvD OGP is one of the biggest oldtimer racing events in Europe where  sport, touring and racing cars from at least eight different decades can be seen in a variety of exciting races. The spectrum ranges from pre-war racing cars to youngtimers.

The highlight of the Oldtimer Grand Prix will be the appearance of Formula-1 racing cars from the 60′s and 70′s which will go on start for the Grand Prix Masters and the FIA Lurani Trophy for Formula Junior Racing Cars. The formula school of the late 50′s has thus once again been revived.

Sports car fans will surely get their money’s worth many times over. At the World Sportscar Masters, sport prototypes can be seen as were driven at the 24 Hours of Le Mans from the middle of the 60′s until the 70′s. From the sports car era before that, you’ll be attracted by the invitation race for two-seater racing cars and GTs til 1961.

A southern delicacy awaits spectators in the form of the Italian Historic Car Cup, which recalls the great times of the sports cars, sport prototypes and GTs of Italian fabrication. It’s a revival of classics, Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Lancia, Maserati and OSCA.

Neither the touring cars nor GT-Sport will leave you still wanting more. The well loved races of the GT cars up til 1965 as well as the Revival German Racing Sport Championship – with its spectacular DTM cars til 1981 – are part of the AvD Oldtimer Grand Prix.
