With a spectacular calendar for 2011 is waiting for the department of history from Audi: "time warp - the Auto Union silver arrows on the historic race track" is the work overwritten, which led all parties involved for almost a year through Europe. The idea: The Auto Union Silver Arrows return to racing on tracks with a great history and take pictures of original scenes from the 1930s. The result: nine tracks, six silver arrows, 13 breathtaking photographs and three superstars who were the protagonists of the project: the former Formula 1 driver and Le Mans winner Jacky Ickx and Hans-Joachim Stuck and Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason.
The idea was born at the Historic Grand Prix in Bern 2009th Where the Grand Prix of Switzerland in the Swiss capital Bremgarten had his home, were found traces and witnesses from the 1930s. Bernd Rosemeyer's fastest lap with an average of over 160 km / h on the immensely dangerous street circuit with cobblestones and tram tracks is there for eternity. Why should not wait elsewhere like surprises. Original sections of the racetrack from the 1930s should be available despite the modifications in the past 70 years. Just take pictures, where the Auto Union Silver Arrows celebrate their triumphs and defeats suffered was from now on, the stated goal. And although with high artistic standards and with maximum authenticity.
After intensive research, nine tracks were on the plan: Nürburgring (Germany), Monte Carlo (Monaco), Reims (France), Monza (Italy), Donington Park (England), Bern (Switzerland), Spa-Francorchamps (Belgium), Zandvoort (Netherlands) and the Klausen Pass in Switzerland, where in 1934 was asked the last time the mountain race. What the makers could only hope the beginning: The race track owners were inspired by the idea and presented the current and former Grand Prix runs for photo shoots. The next surprise: When asked about the project, the former Formula 1 driver Jacky Ickx and Hans-Joachim Stuck was immediately willing to stand as a photo model. Jacky Ickx was the Historic Grand Prix in Monte Carlo, where the Belgians now lives photographed.
