Rolls Royce is among the brands celebrating their centenary this year. On this occasion they launched a special Centenary Alpine Trial event, which recently came to an end after 16 days and more than 1,800 miles.
The magnificent tour saw a collection of 47 Silver Ghosts creating a wonderful scene as they made their way through the Alps, accompanied by the Rolls-Royce Motor Cars ‘Works Team’. It was a fitting way of commemorating the 1913 Alpenfahrt, because of which Rolls-Royce was declared the ‘Best Car in the World’.
The Alpine Trial participants, consisting of RR owners, British Royalty, Lords and Ladies, Ambassadors and guests from 12 countries including Australia and America, passed through 12 countries before emerging in Vienna just as the original competitors did exactly 100 years ago. The timing for the event was perfect, as this time of the year Alpine routes are extremely beautiful and pleasant.
“The Centenary Alpine Trial has clearly embraced the Spirit of Adventure that is synonymous with Rolls-Royce, and I applaud the participants for their resolve and determination,” said Torsten Müller-Ötvös, CEO.
