Silvretta Classic 2008

Silvretta Classic 2008 - 7 Bosch teams take part

From 3 - 5 July 2008, the Silvretta Classic provided great entertainment for the eleventh time with its three-day adventure in the beautiful valley of Montafon. The rally included 625 fascinating kilometers, an attractive starter field with 186 cars manufactured between 1923 and 1988, sporty challenges and sociable evenings.

Bosch strengthened its involvement and was represented by 7 car teams. Already before the start, the Austrian racing team of Norbert Jurkowitsch, Willi Angerer and Max Zottler competently carried out the technical inspection of the entire starter field. During the rally, the experienced three-man team, along with roadside assistance and technical service, was on hand to offer the participants help and advice. This offer was often gladly taken up.

The spectators at the start and finish lines were treated to a VW T1 Bulli utility vehicle with original historical Bosch paintwork. The appearance by Bosch, described as "extremely likeable", was rounded off by 7 Bosch rally teams. The best driving team with an overall placement of 49 was Dr. Eugen Konrad with Ms. Ulrike Konrad, former Bosch Automotive Aftermarket Group Executive Management, in a Jaguar XK 150 DHC 1960 model with the start number 95.
