DOTZ Teamrider on Tour
BACK TO OVERVIEWIt's 4 a.m. at the gas station - 5 guys, 5 cars, and one trailer. On 16th May 2019, the two DOTZ Team Riders Tom Reif and Martin Arnold took off for Lake Wörther in Klagenfurt, Austria, accompanied by Matthias, Marc and Klaus.
From there onwards, they went full throttle. Or maybe not? With the Polo 6n 16vt on the trailer, the maximum speed stood at 100 km/h.
Despite the moderate speed, they were still checked by the police. Pit stop at 12 p.m. sharp. At their regular Lake Wörther hotel, things were smooth, as always, and after a good night’s sleep the boys performed some car care and headed to Faak am See.
Second day, second car wash, and off they went! Next stop: the XS Carnight in Klagenfurt. DOTZ Team Rider Martin Arnold was particularly looking forward to this stop because thanks to his BMW F31 on DOTZ Misano he was invited to take part in the XS Carnight – what an honour!
Well-placed and positioned, the Fabulous Five went for a spin and managed to click a few cool pics before the official opening.
The show ended at midnight, but not on the roads. Hitting the home stretch to the hotel was absolutely crazy: 4.2 km in 48 minutes.
Wake up and smell the… car. So, the morning started with another car wash since the boys wanted their machines to look their best at the 2019 "Zucker” meet in Faak am See. However, that didn’t happen, because after an hour of bumper-to-bumper traffic the boys decided to head towards Reifnitz.
From there, the trip’s chill factor increased, and thanks to calmer traffic conditions the team cruised along the lake.
During the photoshoot on Thursday, Tom Reif and his RS3 on DOTZ Kendo dark showed how relaxed they were, and at the “Aensò” video shoot all hell was let loose with Martin’s BMW F31 and Tom’s RS3.
Martin’s BMW F31 had to be washed twice again and polished, as he was highly sought after both at the VauMax shoot and the Lowbeast Wörthersee video.
Thank God it’s weekend! And it started off at a cool location, the ski-jumping hill in Planica, and a wicked event – the “Mareike Fox and Tiefengrund” meet.
The TR-Delight event on Saturday was a stormy affair. It was houseful at “Omas Wiese” in Reifnitz.
The boys took remedial action in the afternoon by jumping into the pool before celebrating the end of their road trip at Velden’s Switch.
