Karl Wendlinger
Last March at the 76th Goodwood Members’ Meeting in the south of England, IWC Schaffhausen put together its own motorsports team.
At the start of September, the team took part in its first race, competing in the “Competition (Standard & Formula)” category of the 14th edition of the Arosa ClassicCar. Former Formula 1 racing driver Karl Wendlinger guided the famous Mercedes-Benz 300 SL “Gullwing” around the winding mountain circuit and took seventh place.
The Arosa ClassicCar has attracted fans of historic motorsport from across the world since the first edition in 2005. Now, around 25,000 spectators watch the races along the twisting hill-climb route, which covers a distance of 7.3 kilometres and 422 vertical metres as it winds its way from Langwies to Arosa. It is also the only course in Switzerland that has a 1.2 kilometre downhill stretch. The event organisers like to refer to their competition as “the little Monaco of the Alps”.
