Join us for a day of photographing a variety of racing cars and motorbikes at this hillclimb event at Mutschellen (between Dietikon and Bremgarten).
Although competitive racing (and specifically overtaking) are not allowed in Switzerland, there are occasionally some opportunities to see some racing cars and this is one. There is a paddock at the bottom where the cars and bikes are prepared and set off in groups up the hill. You can stand in various locations along the route. There are usually some stands selling food and drinks.
Tickets: CHF20 per person, payable to the event organisers (not PICZ!) on arrival. If coming by car, parking is an additional CHF7.
**if this Meetup event is full, of course you can come as a private individual, it may be difficult for more than about 10 members of the club to meet up and stay loosely together!**
You will need:
- Your camera (preferably with good predictive autofocus)
- A variety of lenses, from standard or even wide angle for the paddock, to telephoto to follow the cars and bikes up the hill.
- Advisable to bring at least something to drink, you may wish to bring your own lunch too.
- Suitable shoes for walking/hiking, there are paths and also grassy fields, there may be some mud.
- Clothes: the weather can be variable at this time of year, could be anything from rain to strong sunshine or a mix of both!
Meeting up:
I suggest we try to meet close to the paddock (before the start line) in the morning, although this can be noisy when the engines are started. I will create a WhatsApp group for participants.
Getting there:
- By car, there are temporary car parks in the fields typically on the north end of the site. Look for Bahnhof Rudolfstetten on your SatNav and then follow the signs to the car parks.
- By public transport, travel to Bahnhof Rudolfstetten near Berikon & Widen, for example from Zürich HB, zou could take the S12 towards Brugg at 09:14, followed by he S17 at Dietikon at 09:33 to Rudolfstetten.
- Please be aware this will be a very busy public event and you may need to queue to buy tickets to get in, so allow time to arrive and meet the group.
