Following on from the success of previous Events in Austria, the
smart times 09 Event again looks to be set for another outstanding
success and is again aiming to be the location of the world's
largest gathering of smart cars.
A
weekend of activities, music, partying and, of course, the famous 'corso'
run will make this a superb Event to attend and this year the party
moves from a marquee to an ancient castle!
thesmartclub has been liaising closely with smart Stuttgart and the
Event organisers and this year. Although no formal 'organised'
trip from the UK to Austria is being planned, there will be a core
team representing thesmartclub attending.
For those driving to the Event, the route will take us from Dover to
Saarbrucken and on to Zell am See. the timetable is as
follows:
-
Wed
19 Aug - Dover to Saarbrucken
-
Thu 20 Aug - Saarbrucken to Zell am See
-
Fri 21 Aug - smart times 09
-
Sat 21 Aug - smart times 09
-
Sun 22 Aug - smart times 09
-
Mon 23 Aug - Zell am See to Saarbrucken
-
Tue 24 Aug - Saarbrucken to Dover
Note that for anyone wishing to drive to/from the Event using the
above schedule, thesmartclub will provide logistical assistance with
en route accommodation, ferry crossing and accommodation in Zell.
Note however this will not be a 'supported' trip and no road books
will be provided. We expect to have a rough guide to total
pricing available by 2nd July 2009.
We will also have a number of people flying into Germany and Austria
and hiring cars. Destination airports are either Munich or
Salzburg. It is possible to hire a smart car in Munich
although getting hold of a smart at Munich airport is virtually
impossible and whilst a reservation can be made, one will normally
require to get a train from
Munich Airport to Munich and collect the car at the car rental
location. We have used 'Sixt'
from Munich in the past and the car can normally be returned to the
airport on the return journey. Alternatively, one
can fly into
Salzburg
Airport and hire a car from
Laudamotion. thesmartclub can provide further guidance and
instructions as required.
