Crossing summer landscapes, venturing onto remote roads and putting the sporty side of your classic car and its performance to the test – that was what the spe-cialists at RAID had in mind when devising the concept, routes and courses. The VP Bank Rally is supported from start to finish by seasoned officials with years of experi-ence in running RAID rallies both domestically and inter-nationally as well as Liechtenstein-based Pergolini mo - torsport’s, a specialist rally pit stop service from Nendeln.

On the first day, the rally covers routes through Vor­arlberg and Liechtenstein. The route on day two runs through Eastern Switzerland to St. Gallen and greater Zurich.

Historical cars are cultural witnesses, and culture one of the most precious asset of all.

For that reason, the heads of RAID conceived the VP Bank Rally as a cultural event too. The event celebrates the 300-year anniversary of the Principality of Liechtenstein. The first day of the rally ends in the middle of the capital city Vaduz.

The itinerary for the second rally day includes a guided tour of the Abbey Library of Saint Gall. The splendid high-baroque style structure counts among one of UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites.

Culture with a driving experienceThe idea of combining culture with the unique driving experience of sitting behind the wheel of a classic car.

Top-class partnersFor a top-class rally

The idea of giving it everything for pure driving

pleasure.

Founded in 1962, Max Heidegger AG stands for passion in all things automotive. Max Heidegger, founder of the company, now headed by the second generation, demonstrated his enthusiasm for auto-motive sport early on.

A generously proportioned new building set to be opened in Triesen this year will offer Heidegger Classics the space they deserve. This new department will be wholly dedicated to classic cars. This meeting point for historical cars will be characterised by specialist expertise and commitment to top quality.

Discretion, professionalism and reliability. These guiding principles apply as much to Heidegger Classics as they do to Heidegger as a BMW and MINI trading partner and importer (Liechtenstein/ Switzerland) of BMW ALPINA.

At the VP Bank Rally you will get to expe-rience Heidegger during a technical performance check on your vehicle. And don’t miss the chance to test-drive the latest BMW ALPINA model from Max Heidegger AG at the Grand Resort Bad Ragaz before the opening party.

Each watch is unique and tells its own story.

The idea of showcasing vintage watches and the chance to win a rare vintage watch.

Where better than a sophisticated rally to showcase a timepiece that underlines the values and aspirations of this new classic car event.

Huber Fine Watches & Jewellery will pre sent the fascinating world of Huber Vintage at the VP Bank Rally. These are watches that our specialists acquire

primarily from selected collectors or at special auctions. The Huber watch studio specialises in the full overhaul and restora-tion of vintage timepieces. At Huber Vin-tage you will find real gems from the eras between 1940 and 1980.
