Olympia Charger

Looking back on 2007: Oly Charger at Monza CER

After our first Le Mans Classic in 2006, our taste for historic racing was as big as it could be and we gladly travelled to Monza for some more!

Olympia Charger 2012 season planning

With vintage race organizers coming up with their dates, here is our 2012 racing calendar! The first half will be dedicated to prepare our fourth running of the world's greatest (over 100,000 spectators) and fastest (over 180 mph top speed) vintage race, namely Le Mans Classic, were we will have both the Charger and the Viper.

Here is more about your favourite Dodge Charger racecar. The French Classic-Auto website, who already supported us at the Spa RMU Classic in May, has a very good summary story, that lists all the racing greats of the past who attended the 10.000 Tours, and two great pictures of our Charger in action. Nascar-Europe, a dedicated website from Spain, has also the press release of our entry with Michel Disdier at the Gstaad Grand Prix. Click on the links below!

Oly Express ends season with Top 10 finish

What a relief to have such a good race week-end to close the season. After two toasted transmissions and a DNF in Le Mans, we got back in the points this week-end. Thanks to great driving from ARCA's Michel Disdier, who shared the wheel with Christophe Schwartz, and outstandig wrenching from Bjoern Schmidt, the Oly Express finished 24th overall of 40 starters and 10th in the GT1 class, scoring a point in the Classic Endurance Racing championship! It was far from easy as a loose radiator and a damaged AN-12 oil connector almost stalled our week-end! But what ends well is well! So enjoy the pictures of our race week-end at Le Castellet!

Oly Express Dodge ready to race again

The red stripe transmission is now back together and in the car. Bjoern is also currently working on the blue stripe so that we'll have a spare for the next race, which is going to be Peter Auto's 10.000 RPM at Le Castellet. See you there or be square!

One more great CER video from Motorsport.TV

Here is more from Frank Uhlig and his motorsportvideo.tv team. In fact, it is a video made at the Nürburgring CER race in 2008. You can see the Dodge battle it out with Robert Dubler's Corvette 427 and Stan de Sadeleer's BMW M1. The filming persepctive is very intereting as you can see the grade in the famous Mercedes Arena. Click here for the video and sit back to enjoy it full screen and at maximum volume!
