Ennstal-Classic: Actor Tom Wlaschiha in the Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider
– Star from “Game of Thrones” and “Das Boot” competes in the Ennstal-Classic vintage car rally (25 to 27 July 2019) in Austria with a legendary roadster from the 1960s.
– More than 230 teams will be competing in Gröbming. A route of around 900 kilometers with challenging special stages.
In everyday life, actor Tom Wlaschiha (46) drives a 375 kW (510 hp) Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. At the Ennstal Classic (July 24 to 27, 2019), the star of the series "Game of Thrones", "Crossing Lines" and the new film adaptation of "Das Boot" is taking it easy. Wlaschiha will be taking the classic car rally around the Austrian holiday resort of Gröbming (Styria) in a 57-year-old Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider with 65 kW (88 hp).
The Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider is one of the most beautiful convertibles of the early 1960s. The design by Pininfarina combined with the powerful sound of the famous twin camshaft engine still captivates every classic car fan today. The high-revving four-cylinder engine, the short wheelbase and the low weight ensure great driving pleasure.
The Ennstal Classic has a route of around 900 kilometers on the program, peppered with challenging special stages. One highlight is the Stoderzinken Alpine Road, a winding route of around twelve kilometers that ends at the pass at an altitude of 1.845 meters. In all of the stages, the focus is not on top speed, but on meeting a set driving time over a certain distance as accurately as possible or maintaining an average speed. The event, which is considered to be the most difficult vintage car rally in Austria, is made really complicated by the rule that only mechanical measuring devices and stop watches may be used.
The Ennstal Classic concludes with the so-called “Grand Prix” in the streets of Gröbming. Here, thousands of spectators are presented with historic racing cars as well as modern sports cars. For this show, Tom Wlaschiha swaps the 1962 Spider for the current Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio.
