The Technik Museum Sinsheim is gearing up for an exciting event that will showcase the creative world of automotive tuning through the eternal rivals, Volkswagen and Opel. The museum is on the lookout for 100 vehicles to be part of its upcoming special exhibition “Fascination Tuning – VW vs. Opel.” Around 300 cars representing the diversity and originality of the tuning scene of Volkswagen and Opel will participate in the CARsting event.
Expert judges will select the vehicles for the exhibition based on criteria such as originality, individuality, and quality. Rare gems like the Opel Astra J OPC CUP-Extreme, VW Golf 1 GTI, Golf 2 GTI, or Opel Rallye in their original state will be up for consideration. Notable figures in the tuning scene, including Leif Rohwedder from Opel Classic, Marco Degenhardt from Halle 77, and the Garage Brothers, will be part of the jury.
The rivalry between Opel and VW in the tuning scene mirrors the creativity, passion, and competitiveness of the tuning community. This competition has led to constant innovation and development of tuning techniques and concepts, contributing to the dynamic and diverse nature of the scene. Despite their differences, Opel and VW enthusiasts share a common enthusiasm for vehicle modification, driving forward this vibrant subculture.
On the day of the event, visitors to the Technik Museum Sinsheim will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in this colorful world, cheer on the winners, exchange ideas, and gain inspiration for their own tuning projects. They can also interact with participants and experts to learn more about tuning vehicles. As the engines cool down and the sun sets, the event will transition into a relaxed atmosphere.
After 5 p.m., the museum will host a laid-back “Grill and Chill” evening with DJ Nick, where visitors and participants can continue their tuning discussions in a casual setting until late into the night. The CARsting event marks the beginning of preparations for the special exhibition “Fascination Tuning – VW vs. Opel,” set to launch in November.
Attendees can expect an unforgettable experience at the CARsting event, celebrating their shared passion for tuning vehicles and fueling their enthusiasm for the world of automotive customization. It’s a chance to witness firsthand the dedication and artistry that goes into transforming ordinary cars into extraordinary works of art. So mark your calendars for April 14th and get ready to be part of this exciting celebration of automotive ingenuity.
