Offene Rennbahn Oerlikon

The Offene Rennbahn Oerlikon is a unique place in the north of Zurich, known for its long history in track cycling. This sports arena is more than just a race track; it is regarded as a living monument to cycling culture in Switzerland. At a time when many similar facilities are closing, the Offene Rennbahn has managed not only to preserve its tradition but also to attract a broader audience. The concept of using the track as a venue for various events has proven extraordinarily successful.

A highlight of the season is the event "Indianapolis Oerlikon," where historic racing cars and motorcycles can be seen in a speed spectacle. This brings together various motorsport disciplines and attracts thousands of spectators every year. The event is not only a treat for car and motorsport fans, but also offers an exciting atmosphere that makes use of the track's unique curves. The event is supported by prominent motorsport figures such as Fredy Lienhard, who thrills the audience with his historic vehicles.

The Offene Rennbahn is therefore not only a place to admire for sporting events, but also a platform for cultural and social interaction, where spectators experience the action up close. At every event, a pleasant, family atmosphere arises that invites visitors to engage with the culture of track cycling. On balmy summer evenings, the track often becomes a summer terrace, where the audience watches the competitions while enjoying refreshing drinks and fine food. Its location in Oerlikon, just a few minutes from Zurich's city center, makes the track an easily accessible destination for locals and tourists alike.
