DOTZ DRIFT 1 "Santa's Sled"
BACK TO OVERVIEWSnow is falling - engines howling! Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells - drifting all the way!
Year after year, Santa Claus is coming to town on his good old sleigh.
Boring… the DOTZ team's sentiments exactly! That's why, they decided to revamp the story.
So, when you hear: "You better watch out", you are well-advised to make way because Santa is putting the pedal to the metal this year.
The story…
The end of the year is always a very special time. Outside it's bitter cold and the days are getting shorter and shorter. People make time for their loved ones, and there's this blissful smell in the air – it's magic.
But not for DOTZ Santa! He has had it with mushy Christmas romance and his old wobbly sleigh. Jingling bells and the smell of Christmas cookies… No! The smell of petrol is in the air. DOTZ is rewriting the story as there's plenty of dull Christmas tales around already. "Open sleigh" was yesterday. Now you take a seat in the DD1 BMW E92, and instead of Rudolph's nose the DOTZ SP5 20-inch alloy rims stand out against the snow-covered landscape.
The Tyrolean Alps live up to their cliché of looking terribly beautiful, offering plenty of deep powder snow and ice-slicked lanes, for a winter fairytale of a different kind.
Dominic Tiroch, once again, gives evidence of his skills, and transforms into the role of "Bad Santa", showing that some things must not be missing in this story: break-neck manoeuvres and massive drifts. Barn door opens, and before goat "Inge" knows it the gift express has taken off, trailed by a motivated crew that has captured the breath-taking images. Despite temperatures that would make the North Pole proud and squall-like snowfall, man and technology stood their ground. Hence, on the 1st of December we will be able to present a unique winter movie.
But there's a hook: The children will have to wait for their presents…
This year, too, DOTZ is very pleased that a great idea has produced a unique result and thanks Innsbruck Tourism for their support as well as sponsors such as VREDESTEIN, SPIESS HECKER, MAGNA TUNING and REMUS.
So much for winter sleep… With DOTZ, the 1st of December will kick off at a tearing speed!
