(firmenpresse) - Nobody's ever seen the like of it: last weekend more than 2,000 smart fans had been flocking to Zell am See-Kaprun to participate in the largest meeting of smart drivers worldwide. In the heart of Pinzgau, they celebrated the tenth anniversary of the first 'offspring' of the smart family, the smart fortwo. But they did not only honour their favourite car from the manufacturer of Daimler AG with their presence but joined in a unique parade: 743 cars rolled through the streets of Zell am See-Kaprun on Saturday 23rd August 2008 - a record! But the existing record of the Guinness Book with 369 cars was not only equalled: the parade was twice as long as last year! This was just another reason for the visitors of the smart times to celebrate themselves and the little car.
For three days the organizers of the third smart times in Zell am See-Kaprun bent over backwards to stage an unforgettable party. And of course, it would not have been a birthday party without a cake. Master confectioner Walter Estl took the smart itself as his inspiration and baked a cake in the shape of the racy city car in its original size. Just the sight made the mouth of all the gourmets water.
After this refreshment, an amazing variety of events awaited the 2,000 guests who had come to picturesque Pinzgau from all over Europe: at the 'Brabus Race Drive' and the Acceleration Contest, the tuned cars burnt the rubber of their tyres. At the booths of many exhibitors you could learn how to tune your own car during the 'Tuner Happy Hour'. At the 'Craziest smart Contest' unique and artistic cars were on display. And thanks to two daredevil smart fans from Hannover there was another record - in lowest fuel consumption.
At the same time 173 parachutists plunged into the void from an altitude of more than 1,000 metres at the World Cup of Parachute Accuracy Landing staged in Zell am See. As many as 1,211 times the participants jumped out of the planes of the Austrian armed forces. Despite the lousy weather the fifth stop of six at the World Cup Series was one of the most breathtaking impressions during the long smart times weekend brimming with first-class performances.

The holiday region of Zell am See-Kaprun with its 14,000 beds and two million overnight stays per year is one of the most important holiday destinations in Austria. The beautiful flora and fauna in the Alpine panorama and Lake Zell guarantee relaxation and well-being. Golfing, hiking, and bathing are at the focus for the summer time programme, but visitors can choose from more than 40 other activities as well. During the cold season, fun on skis and boards make sure that there is no dull moment. Skiers can comfortably reach the 136 kilometres of slopes covered with powder snow by one of the 56 lifts. Snowboarders enjoy the perfect conditions of the Snowpark on the 2,600-metre-high glacier plateau. Even in the summer you can swish down the slopes here. And family-friendliness is a top priority in Zell am See and Kaprun. For this reason, the region has already received various awards.
