ENTRANCE GUIDE
The entrance to the show area in Vartiovuori park is primarily from the top, from Tähtitorninkatu. If there’s too much traffic or if the upper lawn fills from cars, we can take cars in from the audience ticketing area from Kaskenmäki/Kaskenkatu and Mustainveljestenkuja.

BRINGING YOUR CAR
Our event is aimed at classic two-door sports and GT cars. If you have a classic you want to show, you are free to do so without an invitation. Our guides at the gate will help you find a place for your car on the lawn.
If you are unsure whether your car is suitable for the event, you can contact the organiser Antti Wihanto by phone/email (+358)40-551-9841 or by sending an email to (antti@wihanto.com). Visitors often bring their own hobby cars even if they are not participating in the show. Interesting cars that are not official participants can often be found in the parking area outside the exhibition.
