Aftermovie 2022 Edition

  • Inspired by
    • This event is largely inspired by the 2022 edition of the TOUR des ALPES that we have organised for sports cars of all brands.
    • In terms of routes, it was one of our best events ever, and an ideal basis to turn it into a fantastic event, reserved for ALPINE owners (which we also own and drive ourselves).

For organisational reasons, places are of course limited.

For this edition we will not reveal all the details of the program online in advance. If you have an ALPINE and have not participated before, you can see what you can expect via the images of the 4 previous editions (see above). Below we briefly outline the program and timing of this annual fantastic international event.

Minimum one month before the start of the event, you - as a participant - will receive a postal package with the Guide Book (= printed supplement to the digital Road Book), all stickers for your ALPINE, a squeegee to apply the stickers, and a personalised badge per person.

Around that period, all registered teams (= drivers and co-drivers) will receive an information email with the link to the digital Road Books, the invitation link to 2 Telegram groups in which we will communicate later, and a lot of other practical information, to enjoy the upcoming event to the maximum.

During the event, there will be a briefing every evening about the next day.
