Das Kilomètre Lancé vom 2. bis 4. September 2022
St. Moritz. Das Kilomètre Lancé vom 2. bis 4. September 2022 auf dem Engadin Airport in St. Moritz war ein großer Erfolg. Auch anfängliche Wetterkapriolen sahen die 65 Automobile und Motorräder als Herausforderung und nutzten die großzügigen Fahrzeiten, um sich zu messen, um Rekorde aus der Frühzeit des Beschleunigungsrennen zu jagen oder einfach nur, um diese Fahrt in Richtung Horizont zu genießen.
The way is the goal
It is time. From all parts of Europe, participants will make their way to the Kilomètre Lancé from 2 to 4 September 2022 in St. Moritz. However, Solitude GmbH as the organiser within the framework of the International St. Moritz Automobile Week would like to pay homage above all to those who travel to the highest airport in Europe with the competition vehicles on their own wheels.

Motorcycle highlights at the Kilomètre Lancé
There are only five starting places left for the motorcycles!
With the starting number 1, the Brough Superior SS100 takes the 1000-meter sprint under its wheels. Until the Second World War, motorcycles with the 70 hp twin were considered the world's fastest and best-manufactured machines. The brand became famous through the British colonel, spy and writer T. E. Lawrence. The fanatical sportsman and motorcyclist had acquired seven new Brough Superior in twelve years, covering up to 800 kilometers a day on his numerous journeys.
