The annual German AvD Oldtimer Grand-Prix was held again at the Nurburgring last weekend, August 10th-12th 2012. Racing action From historic Formula 1 (Grand Prix Masters), the FIA Lurani Trophy (Formula Junior cars), "Revival Deutsche Rennsportmeisterschaft 1972-1981" (legendary german series of GT or Group 5 cars), Historic Grand Prix Cars until 1961, World Sportscar Masters and many other events fascinated the spectators around the Grand Prix Circuit.

Ten Races on Saturday and Sunday gave us a wonderful time. Even the cars are historic and very experience, the drivers did fight each other, just great. Just one accident did happend on sunday during the Grand Prix Masters, when Steve Hartleys Arrows A4 touched another competitor car and had a rollover. Fortunately Steve Hartley was unhurt, Marshals and Security did also made a great job.

Races were surrounded by Club meetings of Alfa Romeo enthusiast, as well as BMW, Ferrari, Porsche friends and many, many more. A weekend already for the whole family.

Looking forward to the 41st edition in 2013, thanks to AvD for a fantastic event.
