European TimeAttack Masters & Tuning End of Season, 22 October
A last get-together of the tuning scene before many enthusiast vehicles are traditionally sent into hibernation at the end of October. For several years now, the Tuning Season End has established itself in the paddock of the Grand Prix circuit. While visitors indulge in petrol talks, drifting and show-and-shine contests, there is also plenty of action on the track.
At the finale of the European TimeAttack Masters, drivers from all over Europe will compete against the clock - in fascinating, particularly high-horsepower vehicles. Tickets cost 20 euros, admission for children up to 14 years is free.
More racing action in October
