Volkswagen Classic, the main sponsor of the 9th Classic Days at Schloss Dyck (1-3 August 2014), invited our President and Vice President to visit this soon-to-be legendary event. We had interesting discussions with many personalities from Volkswagen AG (Autostadt and Volkswagen Classic) and the Gottfried Schultz Group (the largest VW centre in North Rhine-Westphalia).
The biggest automotive garden party - the classic car and motor festival for the preservation of the castle and park - will once again delight visitors in 2014. Atmospheric and rare highlights will be announced and anniversaries will be celebrated at the castle.

There is a 2.8km circuit ("Racing Legends") on the circuit, which is used regularly for monoposto and touring car races for cars built up to 1961. It is also possible to drive other vehicles on this circuit.
We had the pleasure of experiencing the circuit in the T1 "Lufthansa" van of Volkswagen Classic.
And now the interesting part for 2015: Volkswagen-Classic is planning to involve the VW clubs in this event. We made a commitment to Mr Kadow and he was particularly pleased with our photo book: 10 years of the VW Beetle Club Última Edición e.V. When we showed it to him, he spontaneously asked if he could keep it... We then presented him with a freshly printed copy, as our club photo book was admired by many other interested parties.
