THROWBACK: Air Lift Performance @ Wörthersee Treffen

Here at Air Lift Performance, we absolutely LOVE getting out and attending as many shows as possible. After all, what’s a better way to see our products being used (and the guys & girls behind ’em) than being right in the middle of all the action?

One of our favorite events to attend each year is Wörthersee, located west of Klagenfurt in southern Austria. This might seem like an odd location to host one of the world’s biggest VW shows, but Austria is fairly centrally located in Europe. Because of this, you get upwards of 150,000 visitors (some from as far as Russia!) making the pilgrimage to the show.

It also helps that Wörthersee is a seriously beautiful place with super-warm weather during May…

Last year, Air Lift Performance decided to join the party and drive down with some of the UK’s best air-equipped rides. With some 1,000+ miles to cover each way this isn’t a journey for show queens, and we like that. After all, there’s no better way to test your suspension than with a cross-country road trip that spans the high-speed Autobahns and twisting mountain roads!

Wörthersee didn’t officially kick off until May 4, 2016, but many hardcore enthusiasts turned up much earlier in the week searching for their own spot in the limelight. In the weeks leading up to the event, you will see waves of event attendees, each group bringing a different flavor to the lake.
