The Jarama circuit comes alive with 5,000 drivers and fans of the Volkswagen Golf at the GTI Day

On Sunday, July 9, the second edition of the GTI Day took place, an event that was born last year, when the iconic Volkswagen model turned 40 and the German brand wanted to celebrate it in this way. Thousands of people, owners and motoring enthusiasts, gathered at the circuit for the first time. The event was such a success that it was repeated this year, exceeding expectations and showing the strength of the most sporty and powerful version of the Volkswagen Golf.

Almost a thousand units of Volkswagen Golf GTI from all seven generations of the model gathered on the track, where they drove together, creating an unmistakable spectacle along the course. But the excitement did not end with the display of the Golf GTI brought by their owners; it also included the sight of the latest version of this car running laps around the Jarama circuit.

Several units of the Golf GTI, GTE and GTI Clubsport drove past the spectators, and some of them were able to enjoy a shared driving experience with a professional driver. A real treat that raised the excitement of the event and delighted all the attendees. A ride behind the wheel of the GTI TCR, the competition version of the model, with an experienced driver, allowed people to enjoy its 350 CV in real time. And in virtual form, as several simulators were set up so that those who did not have the chance to try the car in person could do so with them.

Driver Ronny Wechselberger was the star of a parking exhibition in a minimal space, leaving everyone amazed and astonished by his skill at the wheel of one of the Golf GTIs. Live music, workshops for the little ones and many more parallel activities so that everyone could fully enjoy the celebration of this powerful and attractive car.
