One of my favorite events and on my calendar each year, the OGP! Info from yesterday's press release below. Not mentioned, but expected, are activities from BMW and BMW Classic to celebrate 100 Years of BMW. As soon as I have more info I'll update this topic! Curious? Click here for the 2015 topic. Not too many photos in there yet as the BMW Car article was delayed a couple of times but I promise to put a huge set of photos on line shortly.
New attractive details at AvD Oldtimer Grand Prix

The legendary Nordschleife is part of the programme as well – classic vehicles will be seen there throughout the weekend. A special attraction for fans of the legendary circuit will be the Track Day on Friday offering ample on-track time for drivers and vehicles of various performance levels. This year a thrilling facet has been added to the programme featuring plenty of highlights to begin with, as the superbly preserved and restored historic rally vehicles of the ‘Slowly Sideways’ special-interest association will be featured for the first time. New as well will be a presentation drive on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of Porsche’s transaxle models. First-hand information for participants and fans will be available at Techno Classica (6 – 10 April, Essen Trade Fair Centre). The AvD Oldtimer Grand Prix stand can be found on Stand GA-105 in the ‘Galeria’. Two weekend tickets can be purchased there for 58 euros (equating to a 50 % discount) as a trade fair special.
