Seven appointments on seven race tracks across Europe are in store this year for the greatest tour for Abarth fans ever.

The first event was held on May 5 in Austria and the programme will be continue until September. The 2018 tour is more exciting than ever. The 100,000 Scorpionship members, who got together last year during the Abarth Days 2017, will be meeting up again for the stages of the refreshed 2018 tour to experience another day of fun and adrenaline-fuelled activities. The undisputed stars of the tour will be the Abarth cars of today and yesterday available for exiting test drives on the racing track and on the roads surrounding the circuit. The spotlight will also be trained on the Abarth 595 and the Abarth 124 spider, in addition to several valuable vintage models made from 1949.

Areas showcasing the current Abarth line-up and the stunning classic cars will be set up on each circuit. These are some of the famous race cars that made motorsport history as a result of the ingenuity of Karl Abarth, who turned his passion for racing and continual research for better performance also to standard production cars. His goal was to turn normal cars into something extraordinary. Plenty of space will also be dedicated to the Abarth Clubs - 40 across Europe - that will have meeting places for their members and be able to reach out to visitors who have not joined yet.

On each circuit, activities will be staged for Abarth fans of all ages in the entertainment area during the entire event. One of the most exciting activity will be that of sitting as co-driver next to a professional rally driver to experience the spectacular performance of the Abarth 124 rally. Furthermore, all Abarth owners can drive their cars on the racing track. Tickets are available for presales online.

Finally, Mopar®, official partner for FCA aftersales services, will be present at all events of the European tour. Mopar® Express Care, the innovative authorised mobile service developed by Mopar®, will offer an array of services, such as check-ups and electronic diagnostic procedures, scheduled maintenance operations (filters, brakes, battery, lights, oil), climate control system maintenance, tyre service, window replacement and repair, passenger compartment sanitation and installation of genuine accessories in addition to special benefits and promotions especially for the event.
