No problem, more the merrier. At the moment I can't find any shows advertising before May, but am sure things will start before then, April at least.

Yes, I believe its too soon right now. Thing is to keep checking regularly.

I concentrate more on looking for any snow based activities for the next couple of months at this time of year.

Just to add, I'd be maybe interested in sharing petrol, sharing driving for a photo outing.

[quote]Hi



Along with my hobby of photography, I enjoy both watching and shooting at airshows and car shows. If you now of any for 2009, let me know, as I have some dates, but always miss some. I already watch the zündung.ch site, so have those ones, but others such as the VP Bank classic, etc don't always appear on that site.



I also have a list of the current airshows for 2009, but the list is always changing and growing, so again, any info you come across would be appreciated.



I'm always happy if anyone else wants to come along to any of these events, drop me a line if you are.

Do you know the Klaussen Run? It was a grand prix event in the 20's and 30's which was reintroduced recently. It is on the Klaussen Pass and is absolutely amazing...in spite of the ban on motor sport in Switzerland this is quite competitive because (I understand) the local Mayor raced the le mans 24hr during the 70's. Am not sure on the date but am definitely going and would drive or car share.

best,

Hi all

Thanks for the replies so far. I agree that it's way early at the moment, but I'm one of those who likes to plan a little in advance :-) (Axalp already booked for October)

I am always searching the net for carshows and such, and the most informative site I've found that has links to a number of individual events is the zundung.ch, but that shows nothing before May, so far, it's always being updated.

This year I mainly remained in the northern part of cheese and chocolate land, with events in Wallisellen, Root, and Mutschellen, which were all hill climb type events, but just for show really, still good fun tho :-) I also know that there are usually at least 2 classic car get togethers at the hotel up in Hasenstrick, which I been to3 or 4 times so far, but thats just static cars.

I'll keep updating this forum when I find events I'm going to attend, and always welcome company. I am happy to share petrol, my only problem is my car only has 2 seats, same as the bike :-) But that's not a problem, always a work around.

I've not really tried doing much shooting at snow events so far, will maybe give that a go over winter. If anyone knows nice places for nature shooting during winter, I'm also all ears.

Airshows in Switzerland, I know of a few so far, main one Axalp, but these I have some very good list for if anyone is interested. I'm also doing 3 in UK as well in 2009, so hope it's a good year for the weather.

I'm open to all ideas if someone wants to do a days shooting, just be forwarned, I work irregular shifts, and am only guaranteed 1 weekend a month off, the rest is hit and miss, but it does mean I can get out during week when there are usually less people about :-)

Anyway, if you have any ideas, throw them my way as well please.

Thanks again

Chris

Hi

Thanks, another one to add to the list. I made the Michaelskreuzrennen this year in Root, was fun.

Chris
ChrisK, Dec 22, 2008 @ 12:12

Another one, especially for those Geneva based, as you are closer.

Mangy-Cours classic days 01/02 May.

I'm thinking of taking the bike for a weekend run for this, but not sure yet.
