The Nürburgring or Green Hell: these are the names of the most fascinating track in the world located in the western part of Germany, more precisely in the EIFEL region.
Characterised by the large green hills which make this place unique, the Nordschleife has been the setting of many of the epic stories in the history of the automobile., in fact the circuit has a unique atmosphere which no other circuit can transmit: bends, dips, climbs and long straights for a total of 20 km, 832 m. Only those who have visited this temple of motoring can truly understand what we are talking about.
Our aim is to create an international association with the European Abarth clubs to increase the awareness of the Abarth world outside of Italy.
This will also server to increase the communication between the various European clubs and furthermore give the possibility to enter the track, take group photographs of everyone together as one family of those passionate for the Scorpion.
If the number of participants is high enough we can ask the track staff for a special lap only for 500 Abarth and Grand Punto Abarth with the possibility of taking pictures of the group on the track like other clubs have done before.
The planned dates for this event are from 23rd to 27th April 2010 at the Nurburgring (Germany) and each club will organise, separately, the travel and overnight accommodation.
Requirements: ABARTH VEHICLE
