Hundreds of classic and sportscars visted Gilze Rijen airbase last weekend for a phantastic event. They were joined by classic planes (Spitfires, Dakota’s, Beavers, Harvards and gliders) who did several airshows.
Participating car clubs were the Historic F1 1955-1970, Historic F1 1970-1995, Dutch Vintage Sports Car Club, NK HTG en de Grand Turismo & Touring Cars. The Ferrari Club Nederland, the Aston Martin Owners Club Nederland, the Maserati Club Holland as well as the Morgan Sports Car Club participated.
F1 vehicles and classic sports cars from all eras raced each other on the airstrip while the classic cars gave demonstration runs, a Tatra T 87 being invited by the DVSC.
The event, well organised by the Rotary Club Oosterhout, was meant to raise funds for the disabled sports fund, the Fonds Gehandicaptensport.
