Neuss, Germany 2-3 August, 2008
The first August weekend 2008 the Dyck Castle Classic Days created a symphony mixed from good mood, gleaming eyes, historic garden pleasure and shiny classical automobiles and motorcycles. All happend on August 2 and 3 in and around the moated castle Dyck, located close to Neuss in the city triangle Düsseldorf – Köln – Mönchengladbach. The historic car event is in Germany one of a kind. It spanned from the elite of concours vehicles to a historic car meeting for each and everyone. With the historic scenery and the family picnic atmosphere it attracted also people who are not true historic car enthusiasts. No doubt: The Schloss Dyck Classic Days go straight to the heart. Historic motor sports so close, with international, rare vehicles as well as the exhibition of precious examples from the golden age of automobiles made a beguiling mixture.

Organized by the non-profit association Classic Days e.V. the event is supported by the district administration and automotive sponsors. Two things are very important according to Classic-Days-founder Marcus Herfort: First ranks the mission of the event. The profit goes to Dyck castle foundation in order to finance the reconstruction works on the ancient buildings and gardens. Secondly the event is also named “Trips memorial” honouring the German racing driver Wolfgang “Taffy” Count Berghe von Trips who died in a severe accident in 1961. His fairness, driving performance and charisma shine bright as an example even more than four decades after his death in Monza Grand Prix. In the international field of participants also Jochen Mass, German racetrack legend will be found, competing with a works racing car from Mercedes-Museum. More than 150 historic cars from all over the world can be marveled at in different runs, literally 80 historic racing cars compete on the 2.8 kms/1.7 mls circuit. Awe-inspiring will be the field of participants in the international concours d’elegance. It gatheres million worth collector gems: Mercedes-Benz, Maybach, Horch, Rolls Royce and Bugatti present themselves like sculptures in the baroque gardens of the castle. The esthetical experience of fine art car bodies will contrast to the special show “vehicles from the era of economic miracle”, lining out the beginning of mobility for everyone. Peoples’ mobility seems impossible without motorcycles. And that is the reason why classified runs with those put-put twowheelers will be part of the event. This wide range from the most expensive collector’s piece to the still beloved everyday car from younger past makes the unique atmosphere of Classic Days. Beetle besides Rolls Royce – can be found even in the meadows around the castle. The people showing off their cars dedicate their hobby to the preservation of technical culture, most of them have done the restoration work by themselves. In the year 2007 at both days more than 4,700 historic cars came to the castle as visitor cars. Parking space galore for those cars will be provided and gives the chance to all visitors to come with their old car directly to the location in order to show off their polished rarity and talk to other car enthusiasts. Many clubs take the opportunity to present themselves. „For that third issue Classic Days association once again will collect applications of most spectacular vehicles and set up a very varied program“, states Marcus Herfort, president of the non profit association, „nevertheless we still have room for the most rare and outstanding vehicles in the concours d’elegance. We gratefully accept further applications.“ Running such an event in the preserved greenlands and courtyards of a 1,000 years old castle lays big responsibility on the shoulders of the organizer. Each single space where a historic car will be exhibited in the gardens is chosen in close collaboration with the authorities, i.e. concerning biological preservation, environmental protection and so on. All participating vehicles will get full technical control before entering, especially regarding exhaust system and oil leakage. According to the organizer some 30,000 visitors will attend. On both days a family friendly program will be offered. There will be an exhibition of fire engines and tractors, depending from weather conditions also ballooning. Children’s animation will come along with jazz music, the stands of different classic car clubs and the activities on the circuit. In the castle’s parkland the valueable vintage cars will be displayed in style and one can stroll through the paddocks. Of course catering will be provided at modest prices.
