ISCHGL GETS RACING FEVER

On 26th and 27th June 2009, the 3rd Ischgl Cart Trophy will bring Formula 1 feeling to the Tyrol. Those with courage and skill can form a racing team and fight against the pros.

The engines are roaring in Ischgl for the Summer Opening. The 3rd Ischgl Cart Trophy on 26th and 27th June brings racing air to the Tyrolean lifestyle metropolis. The smell of petrol and enthralling duels are on the agenda when 30 teams, each with six to eight drivers, race through the middle of Ischgl in mini racing cars. On the 600 metre long circuit at the base station of the Silvrettabahn, racing carts will be fighting for every place at speeds of up to 90 km/h. Pit lanes, warm up and a qualifying round provide an authentic Grand Prix atmosphere. After the training and qualification rounds on Friday, the fastest teams will take part in a spectacular flood-lit night race for victory on the Saturday and in the process will transform the village centre around the base station of the Silvrettabahn into a race track, including pit lanes and an audience area. Companies and individuals who wish to take part in the Ischgl Cart Trophy can form their own racing team and compete against the celebrity teams. Participation, including a pit crew, racing outfits (racing suit, helmet, shoes, gloves), name-brand racing cart, mechanics, catering and numerous other services, can be booked for teams of six to eight drivers each at Stars, celebs and people with style are catered to with "Rotation", the new party concept from the Art of Cart series. In any case, the night of 27th June will be characterised by highlights and hits at the highest level. This will be taken care of by, among others, by the fantastic sounding and lovely to look at Natascha Wright who will be treating us to jazz and pop with her unmistakeable voice. THE dance floor artist who is guaranteed to be a hit, Dr Alban will warm up the drivers and visitors just as surely as saxophone genius TOM X.
