Torpedo Run 2005 - Road-Rally across Europe

[Airman]

The countdown has begun until the flags drop in Hamburg, Germany, to start this year's Torpedo Run ( www.torpedorun.com ) which will be held between 16th September 2005 - 24th September 2005. First teams entered the rally to conquer the streets of Europe during this sensational event.

During the run you will get to know several European countries. On the German Autobahn you will be able to drive as fast as you want. You will also experience winding roads in the mountains and cruise along the Mediterranean Sea. Scenery and streets of Europe differ from country to country and are always breathtaking.



New challenges and exclusive VIP events are going to await you. This is e. g. the visit of the powerful DTM race in Avignon (France), which will take place on a spectacular street circuit. The DTM is Europe's most popular touring car series with aces such as Mika Häkkinen and Allan McNish in the grid. Also driving on legendary racetracks, a contest between the participants in hovercrafts or a factory tour at one of the most exclusive supercar-manufacturers of Italy are planned. You will experience and enjoy a lot of things!

The feedback concering the route across Europe is great. Interested people said that we sorted out a fantatsic route inluding very well selected events at the daily checkpoints. Here's a link to the route:

Anybody else think that this whole rally idea is being abused? It's not even exclusive anymore, tons of these rallys now.

[Airman]

To be honest. I know many of road-rallies, even held earlier than the Gumball (you have probably in your mind). But we realy want to give our participants something special ... not only driving the cars on streets and racetracks, but also special action events at the checkpoints.

[SFDMALEX]

Yeah, gumball is what I had in mind. I like your rally, sounds like a good experiance, but I just meant that in general this whole rally idea is being abused too much. Too many crappy ones out there and only a few quality ones.

Is there a checkpoint scheduled in Belgium? It's always nice to be able seeing some exclusive cars and it's even better if there is a possiblilty to take pics of them.

[Airman]

There are checkpoints on every daily leg. But there will be one in the south of the Netherlands.

And another rally that just goes around Switzerland without giving me the occasion to take some pics :bah:

Already some entries? if yes, wich cars?

And BTW, it's a bit of a shame to show interest in a messageboard only when you have to advertise something :bah:

[Airman]

But still different to a spammer, because I'm here and participate in this thread to answer questions etc.

Yes, we have already entries. But it's up to the people to show themselves in advance and we accept it. In our fourm, it's quite new, one of the participants posted that he drives an BMW M5. Also a nice choice for the trp: a comfortabel and fast ride for long disctances.

Just an information: A known rally driver who also participates in some of the rallys of the WRC (World Rally Championship) is very interested in entering the Torpedo Run. Now he has to sort out his dates.
