Autodelta announces its “European Tour” – Page 2
Itinerary
Starting on Friday, 15th September, the Autodelta European Tour 2006 will be a grand journey, taking in many of Europe’s highlights. Departing from England on the Harwich-Hook of Holland high speed ferry the tour will arrive in Holland early that afternoon, with a pleasant drive to the hotel and time to relax before evening dinner.
Saturday and Sunday (16th-17th September) will see the Tour attending Spettacolo Sportivo, where participants will also get the chance to put themselves and their cars to the test around the famous Zandvoort race circuit, former home of the Dutch Grand Prix. Located by the sea and surrounded by sand dunes, Zandvoort is always a glorious location in the early autumn.
The Tour will leave Zandvoort mid afternoon on Sunday (17th September) and head across Europe to Cologne where participants will spend the night. The next day it will be on to Basel in Switzerland for a reception at Alfa Romeo dealer and Swiss Autodelta importer, B&K Automobile, followed by an overnight stay in a luxurious hotel.
Next day (19th September) will be the final leg of the run, a spectacular drive on some of the finest driving roads in the world, from Switzerland high across the Alps, through Italy, into France, and finally to Monaco, where Tour participants will be pampered for the final two nights at the Hotel Metropole. This will also be their opportunity to experience first-hand the true reason for this tour – Autodelta’s latest exclusive car unveiling, which will be held in the world-famous Casino Square.
Monaco
Filled with history and sociocultural traditions
The Principality of Monaco has long been a dominating place on the Côte d'Azur. Unique to the world, this country is a crossroads, filled with history and sociocultural traditions, as well as economic activities.
Monaco is undoubtedly an international centre of attraction and has been since the 1860s, when it was under the rule of Prince Charles III. It was in 1889 that the Hotel Metropole first opened its doors, in the heart of Monte Carlo, Monaco’s most fashionable neighbourhood. The hotel is situated in the Golden Square, mere footsteps from the Casino de Paris, Café de Paris, luxury boutiques, the superb neighbouring gardens, and the Mediterranean Sea. Along with all of this, it affords an excellent view of the Monaco Grand Prix racetrack.
Whilst in Monaco an open bar at the hotel has been arranged, along with a lavish dinner on the final night to celebrate the conclusion of the 2006 Tour. Participants will also get the opportunity to visit the principality’s famous casinos, and see the sights. The Tour will also attend the glamorous ‘International Yacht Week’ which is taking place in the harbour and along the ocean front of Monte Carlo at the same time.
With 95 super and mega yachts, 530 exhibitors, 8000 square metres of stands and more than 22,000 visitors, the Monaco Yacht Show unites the most prestigious companies from the yachting industry. Seduced by the event’s success and prestige, big luxury names have also joined in the past few years, such as Mercedes-Benz, Baccarat and the watch making manufacture Blancpain, who for the last seven years has designed a limited series Monaco Y.S. watch for each event.
The Autodelta European Tour 2006 isn’t a race, it’s a relaxed tour for true enthusiasts where you will drive exhilarating roads through spectacular scenery in amazing company and with just 20 additional cars, you can be sure that it will be truly exclusive.
