From 22nd to 24th August 2008 thousands of people are celebrating the 'smart fortwo' in Zell am See-Kaprun
More than 2,500 smart pilots are being expected in Zell am See-Kaprun from 22nd August. They'll all be heading towards the air field of Zell, which will be the great 'smart community area' for this weekend. The motto of the party in honour of the 'smart fortwo' and its exciting history is 'Let's Celebrate'. Among the guests is the popular rock band 'SheSays' from Vienna: fans of the quartet can grab the chance to see them live on stage on 23rd August at 7 pm and meet them personally at the meet and greet event. And on Friday evening the DJs are guaranteeing for a lively atmosphere.
During the days, everything is geared for having fun with the cult car. In the afternoons from Friday to Sunday, the tuned little racers are getting ready to show off their speed and horsepower. The 'Brabus Racedrive' is the definite highlight for the fans of motorsports. But that is not all! On Friday and Saturday there is an additional competition: the acceleration contest. If you are curious to learn how to tune your smart, you absolutely have to drop in at the 'Tuner Happy Hour'. From 5 to 7 pm many exhibitors invite guests to participate in a tour through the fascinating technology of the smart family and share valuable tuning tips. At the 'Deco Contest', however, looks is all that counts.
Another special of this year's smart times is an insight into the evolution of the 'smart fortwo'. The 'Walk of Fame' grants its visitors a look at the design studies and pre-standard models. And what the different smarts look like in action can be witnessed on Saturday morning: from 9 am the drivers are meeting at the old air field to get ready for the great car parade. The tour around picturesque Lake Zell is scheduled for 11 am - a moment which could easily make history. This year we are determined to break the existing record by increasing the length of the parade to as many as four kilometres! All we need for this is 738 smarts. Entering the Guinness Book of Records should be a piece of cake, don't you think?
But it is not only the kilometre-long smart parade which is sure to be a true sight for sore eyes. The visitors of the World Cup of Parachute Accuracy Landing, which is being staged on the very same weekend, are in for an amazing spectacle, too. In eight rounds, the world's best parachutists have to find the 'dead centre' after jumping off a plane at 1,000 metres of altitude. Among the starters are the two famous ski jumpers from the Austrian Skiing Association ÖSV, Thomas Morgenstern and Martin Koch. They are participating in the tandem category.

The holiday region of Zell am See-Kaprun with its 14,000 beds and two million overnight stays a year is one of the most important holiday destinations in Austria. The beautiful flora and fauna in the Alpine panorama and Lake Zell guarantee relaxation and well-being. Golfing, hiking, and bathing are at the focus for the summer time programme, but visitors can choose from more than 40 other activities as well. During the cold season, fun on skis and boards make sure that there is no dull moment. 56 cable car and lift facilities take winter sports enthusiasts to the powder snow on the 136 kilometres of perfect pistes. Skiers can comfortably reach the 132 kilometres of slopes covered with powder snow by one of the 56 lifts. Snowboarders enjoy the perfect conditions of the Snowpark on the 2,600-metre-high glacier plateau. Even in the summer you can swish down the slopes here. And family-friendliness is a top priority in Zell am See and Kaprun. For this reason, the region has already received various awards.

They have only been organized for…
