Torpedo Run 2008: The paradise for automotive lifestyle

[Airman]

The paradise for automotive lifestyle has a name: Torpedo Run. This years’ Torpedo Run (»Torpedo Run« The Road Trip Across Europe) will be held between 12th September 2008 and 14th September 2008. For the fourth year in succession, car enthusiasts can look forward to exclusive lifestyle, action packed events and an extraordinary mobile party. The Torpedo Run gives you a long weekend of sheer fun!



Starting in Ahaus, North of Düsseldorf (Germany), you drive to Paris, the luxury capital of France. This fascinating metropolis has its own legendary charme and belongs to one of the most beautiful cities in the world. From Paris the Torpedo Run continues to the land of the volcanos and Lyon, the French capital of gastronomy.

Torpedo Run follows the roads to elegant St. Tropez. But before arriving at the Mediterranean coast we will spectacularly conquer the winding and attractive mountain roads of the Western Alps. St. Tropez, the embodiment of jet set tourism at the French Riviera, is known for its party life. This town offers the perfect atmosphere for the Grand Final.



Each night you will stay in luxury hotels, revel in culinary pleasures and celebrate eccentric parties - the cream of the crop. Torpedo Run is not a race. So the Torpedo Run got the official go of the government and administrative authority.

Whether you are driving a new sportscar, a luxury sedan or a classical car - your passion for the Torpedo Run is what counts. Last year the grid included cars like Mini Cooper S, Hummer H2, Ferrari F430, Corvette Z06, Porsche 997 Turbo as well as Lamborghini Diablo SV and Porsche Carrera GT.



The locations and venues this year are something not to be missed. The motto "Torpedo Run in the altitudes" runs through the events. Teams who have already participated in the Torpedo Run know that the Torpedo Run has superb events coming along with a lot of fun. New challenges and exclusive events are going to await you at all times.

Don't miss the trip of your life. Whoever thinks they have the determination for a great mobile party as it’s best, should enter the Torpedo Run.

not a race huh? anytime you get more than 1 guy with a fast car in the same place its a race

[Airman]

It is definately not a race and we even got the official go of the administrative authorities. The is no timing, no competition and there are organized action packed events on each daily leg. On two days we drive across the mountains, one of them the Alps. It's about the landscapes, winding roads in the mountains where you can get a lot of fun without describing it as a race.

but you still go fast right? cause that'd be boring.

[Airman]

Everything within the law. We are allowed to drive in germany and the police let us drive fast on the German Autobahn. If you do not pass people on the right handside and do not push somebody else there is no problem. This year we have many mountain roads, those roads are winding and offer you a lot of fun, too.
