As is known, the first such race was held in 2008, and in recent years this Balaton Uplands race has become so popular that the number of participants had to be limited. In addition to the local teams, more and more people from abroad will participate in this event if there is no epidemic. In recent years, teams from Italy, Germany, the Czech Republic, Austria and even Israel have participated in the competition. Usually more than 40 different car brands are represented at each race.

“Oltimer fans can also drive lessons for delicious food” At least this is his experience to László Varga, is on the board of the Balaton Circle, which brings together winemakers and caterers around the lake. According to him, a good example of this is the BALATON CLASSiC Oldtimer race, whose stations cover several settlements with nationally famous restaurants. For the first time this year, an iconic restaurant has been included in the itinerary. Classic car fans can also watch the race from the balcony of Kali Gourmet in Köveskál.
According to László Varga, anyone who loves vintage cars also loves classic, high-quality food.
Laszlo Varga According to him, motorsports and cooking are not far away anyway. A good example of this is the Austrian Imperial Hotel Vienna, which was previously on the list of the famous pilot. Niki Lauda The breakfast has his name written on it. This was also gladly taken up at the hotel by the famous F 1 racer himself. But we can also find other good examples. There are restaurants also specializing in car enthusiasts who can travel for delicious coffee and their favorite brand of car. There are even places where there is a real Ferrari in the restaurant. Such is the case at Café Correto in Australia, which was previously welcomed by motor racing drivers in Melbourne. Since then, the place has become a cult and tourists are also happy to come to it.
