Gunskirchen, Austria, 05 May 2008 – BRP-Rotax, Upper Austria's world renowned recreational engine manufacturer, invites the public to a day of test-drives, drag racing, spectacular stunts, and more, on Sunday, 1 June 2008 at the Wels Exhibition Centre. The theme of the day is START ME UP.
Join BRP-Rotax staff to experience a day that will set your pulse racing. This is a unique opportunity to see snowmobiles, quad bikes, sport boats, karts, roadsters and motorcycles, right up to an ultra-light airplane, all the products with the Austrian heart of a BPR-Rotax engine will be on display. Visitors will also have the opportunity to enjoy these motors from the driver’s seat of most of these vehicles in a test-drive
Those interested in test-driving a Rotax-powered vehicle are asked to register at http://startmeup.rotax.at, and on Sunday, to bring along their printed reservation to try out the CAN-AMTM SPYDER® roadster, CAN-AMTM ATVs, SEA-DOO® watercraft and sport boats or the BUELL 1125R motorcycle. Pre-registration is mandatory.
Those who want to experience the action from a distance will have the opportunity to meet the pros up close. Chris Pfeiffer, one of the world’s best street bike freestyle riders, will be performing spectacular stunts with his BMW F800S bike. This and other product stunts will get everyone’s hearts revving.
START ME UP, presented by Tom Walek, star of the comedy radio show Ö3-Micromann offers a lot more than that:
At the Info-Point you can find out everything there is to know about BRP-Rotax from the history of its engines and its car and motor world to its track record as an innovative employer. Young visitors are welcome and a special children's programme will be in place just for them.
Then, at 7.00 pm, fasten your seatbelts and get ready to take off with the Austropop pop meister. Rainhard Fendrich live in the BRP-Rotax Halle (formerly Bosch-Halle) in the Wels Exhibition Centre! Tickets at the special price of 20 Euro are available at www.oeticket.at
