Sidney Hoffmann and MC Fitti at Europe’s Largest Beetle Meet in Travemünde

  • The 11th Beetle Sunshine Tour begins at the Baltic Sea on 21 August
  • Grand fringe programme for the whole family under the motto “Fun in the Sun”
  • Every year the fan fest entices more than 1000 visitors to the Brügmanngarten festival lawns

From 21 to 23 August, Europe’s largest Beetle fan community will be meeting for the eleventh time on Travemünde beach. The organiser Gaby Kraft has already received more than 440 registrations – a new record. Volkswagen has been involved in the Beetle Sunshine Tour as a sponsor for a number of years and in 2015 will be presenting the Beetle “Pink”. In April, the eye-catching concept car caused a furore at the New York Auto Show.

As a fitting tribute to the new Marketing Manager of Volkswagen, Robbie Williams, Germany’s most frequently booked Robbie Williams cover band “Supreme RW” will be playing live on the Sunshine Tour stage on Saturday evening. In July 2011, lead singer Mario Nowack won the casting show ‘My Name Is’ on RTL 2 and was voted Germany’s best Robbie Williams imitator by the viewers. Also on the programme are the live bands “Urban Beach” and “SuperBrass”, who helped to create that genuine beach feeling last year.

On Saturday, enthusiasts will be setting off together with their Beetles, New Beetles or classic Beetles on an excursion along the Baltic Sea. Following this, Sidney Hoffmann, well-known throughout Germany as the presenter of PS Profis, and the German rapper MC Fitti will be commenting on the most attractive Beetles and their special features as they arrive in Brügmanngarten. A fun time is guaranteed!

Anyone wishing to see the “Beetle Pink”, to celebrate to live music with MC Fitti and Sidney Hoffmann, to enjoy the extensive fringe programme for the whole family and/or to take part in the Beetle Sunshine Tour in their own Beetle will find information on the http://ift.tt/Xf1xFG website. This website also offers the opportunity to book a place in the excursion. The Beetle Sunshine Tour starts 6 pm on Friday, 21 August on the Brügmanngarten festival lawns in Travemünde. Those not taking part in the drive are cordially invited to turn up at any time.

Waterfest Moves to Atco Dragway

Waterfest 24 will be held at Atco Dragway, in Atco, New Jersey. The summer event will take place at its new venue on July 21 and 22. Long held in Englishtown, New Jersey, the festival has been such a large part of the VW scene that the latest iteration of the Golf even comes with optional “Englishtown” wheels . The new venue, however, is an NHRA drag track a scant 52 miles southwest of Englishtown. The ¼ mile drag track opened in 1960, which makes it the oldest drag strip in New Jersey. The announcement came today on a social media post that announced the new location. Waterfest is North America’s largest VW/Audi show. As many 20,000 people show up for the annual show, making the second largest show in the world—with Worthersee being number one. 2018 will be Waterfest’s 24 th year in existence.

Macau Gets Messy with 16-Car Pileup

The Macau Grand Prix is always good for an accident or two or 16— you may remember Audi’s race ending crash last year —and this year’s event didn’t disappoint. It didn’t take long for things to get messy on the tight road circuit. On the opening lap of the qualifying race a 16-car pileup caused the race to be suspended. Things kicked off when Daniel Juncadella hit a wall on the exit of Police bend, one of the tightest parts of the already tight circuit. The following car of Raffaele Marciello was able to avoid the carnage, but Laurens Vanthoor, who was in the upside-down Audi that ended the race last year, could not avoid Juncadella and together they blocked up the road pretty much completely. “I couldn’t see him [Juncadella] at first. Then I saw the car standing still,” Vanthoor told Motorsport. “I tried to brake but it was just understeering and I couldn’t do anything. There’s room for one car there and you’re blind.” Fourteen more cars would eventually crash into the corner c

The First of its Kind: Integrated Engineering Releases Highly-Anticipated IE450T MK6 Golf R Turbo Kit

After two long years of development, the team at Integrated Engineering has finally announced the release of their IE450T kit for the MK6 Golf R. With their turbo kit bolted on right out of the box, the sport AWD hatch is transformed into a 450bhp monster, with hardly any noticeable increase in spool time. In fact, 435 ft-lbs of torque are achieved at all four wheels, at a mere 3300rpm! By now you are probably asking yourself how this is even possible on a 2.0L engine that made nearly half that power from the factory. By employing true twin-scroll technology into the cast turbo manifold and pairing it with a state-of-the-art BorgWarner EFR turbocharger, IE was able to keep spool time at a minimum and bring the fastest-spooling big turbo setup to the market. “We wanted to offer a kit that would dramatically increase the power output without making the car lose its amazing street-friendly drivability,” mentioned one of the IE engineers. We are told the IE450T leaves the car driving jus
