Oldtimer Grand Prix Schwanenstadt - 16. – 17. 9. 2023

Oldtimer GP Schwanenstadt: What an event, what a festival! A glorious summer day, more than 300 nominations, many Austrian and International stars of the scene, fantastic race-bikes of any kind of model-year, an enthusiastic crowd and a big pavillion with music, chicken-rotisserie and beer made the Oldtimer GP a veritable two-day motorsport-fair.
Three LAVERDA riders were on the grid: Bruno Aschauer on his LAVERDA 500, Markus Krenn on his 600er Barcelona Replica and Reinhold Weinert on his 500 Formula. Markus scored a fantastic 4th place in the class above 350 ccm. Our LAVERDA friend Robert „Hirschi“ Hirschegger this time decided to leave his LAVERDA in the garage and instead opted for a Juchem Yamaha TZ350 from the race-bike collector and patron Roland Tauchner.
We were particularly happy to meet Marco Lucchinelli, who started his racing-career in 1975 with LAVERDA, and already became world champion in 1981 in the 500 class. Stefan Bradl showed the enthusiastic crowd the most upright wheelies and obviously was very comfortable in Schwanenstadt.
