A
Sensation at the End
|
|
Coming back to Germany after 11 Years
was a great challenge for the EMMA Team because the expectations
have been
very high especially from the Sponsors perspective. Again Pioneer
and DLS took the main Sponsorship for this Mega event but also many
other
brands supported the Finals. Alpine, Kenwood, Clarion, JL Audio,
Hifonics, Rockford Fosgate, Helix, Brax, Silent Coat, AIV, Magnat,
Mac Audio,
Audiovox, Rainbow, Ground Zero and German Maestro showed in Hall
3 of the Nuremberg Expo what is “ State of the Art” in
terms of Mobile Entertainment and the 150 000 Visitors were confronted
with
the according Technologies. Almost 200 participants from over 20
Nations came to challenge each other to find the best of the best.
Very interesting
was also the fact that many foreign visitors from all over the globe
came to the Consumenta to see and feel the best car entertainment
possible.

Smart Event in Italy with EMMA Sound Off
|
|
Great success of EMMA Staff @ Smart
Times 2011, the world meeting dedicated exclusively to SMART car.
The location for the biggest Smart event in Europe was Riccione at
the Adriatic Cost. The idea was to have a simplified EMMA Rulebook
Version to let the Smart Cars compete. The guys of EMMA San Marino
have performed the evaluation of the cars
in all
the three
categories
available:
Tuning
and performance,
design and aesthetics, in-car media and SPL. Thousands of SMART with
various mechanical and aesthetics changes came to Italy and showed
off their masterpieces, from the simple application of vinyl stickers
on the car, up to complete
replacement with a 2000cc 4-cylinder turbo engine and the reinforcement
of the shell with a sturdy roll bar. Some showed also real high end
sound and new international friendships and relations have been started.
A great fun within two days in pure
EMMA San Marino
Style :-)

The British Sound-Off scene has been
sizzling this summer, with fresh vigour from the UK’s new management.
With better coverage on the Internet, with clever use of Facebook
and the UK EMMA web site as well as extensive multimedia articles
on www.talkaudio.co.uk, the UK’s sound-off entrants have been
made more famous than before! There has been a free entrants’ prize
draw at each of the major rounds and the EMMA UK guys have been off
doing exhibition stands at all sorts of car shows. But so far, the
best event has been at Brands Hatch. Home of the UK Superbike championships,
the race track is a UK legend and EMMA had a legendary event. Lots
of cars, some making 800 mile round trips, with some Euro-Finals
challenge grade sound quality and some of the biggest baddest bass
the UK has. It was well run, brilliant fun for everyone and very
well attended. Sound-off is growing again in the UK. So look out
come Euro Finals time, ‘cos we’re comin’ to getcha.

Austria
increases again
|
|
On the fairground of Wieselburg the "Tuningdays" were
helt and also the Austrian car media enthusiasts met for an EMMA
competition in Upper Austria.
The organisers of Tuningdays underlined the topic car media while dedicating
a hole hall with pure sound. Stands with local dealers and distributors
were mixed with areas of EMMA competitors. In this way the visitors
were able to see what can be bought - and how it could be installed.The
third event for the new EMMA Austria brought again 40 competitors
together to find the best sounding car and the loudest car.
Loudest ESPL car of the event was the Toyota Corolla of Thomas Atzmüller
with 149,6/144,8 (Termlab) in ESPL Experienced 4 Woofers.
Some curiosities
can be found in SQ: In Experienced 2000 the point difference between
the first and the second counts amazing 49 points,
whereas in Experienced Unlimited the Winner has just one point lead.
Also noteable: in the qualification list these two unlimited cars
are ranking on top with equal points. As rumors says, all three competitors
have already booked their hotel for the Eurofinals in Germany. But
let's see what the rest of the year will bring up, the saison is
not over as long as there are more events on the timetable.

set up under a new
organisation and this weekend the first event of the actual car
audio season took place in Gosau. Even when it was the first event,

the company Waldboth - an Austrian bottler specialised on energy
drinks. Beside the EMMA-G drinks, sound judges were quite pleased

cats and dogs ;-) . Even during the rainy price giving cermony,
the mood of competitors and visitors was good and also the organiser,
CEO Mario Platzer

20 000 + in Oschersleben
|
|
Even bigger than the already very good Year 2010
was the Opeltreffen Oschersleben 2011. The location, a DTM Race track
near Magdeburg was so crowded (20 000 cars) that some of the weekend
guests had to stay outside with their cars and tents. Also for EMMA
it was a great event with 56 competitors and a huge Party on the
side of the Burn out Area. The almost 68 000 Visitors were entertained
at the highest level with Beauty Contest, 1/8 Mile Race, Bungee jumping,
Show and Shine contest, Burn Out and Drift Challenges and of course
the EMMA cars. On Friday and Saturday evening the EMMA Team organized
a barbecue together with the competitors and had some fun around
the area before the hardcore guys went to the Party tent with its
capacity of more than 3000 guests. Just amazing and even with almost
perfect weather (Friday was a thunderstorm) the Opeltreffen was again
a real highlight of the EMMA season in Germany.

EMMA Hits Cape Town With a Storm!
|
|
The southest EMMA competition ever took place in
the beautiful city of Cape Town in South Africa on April 22. It was
an impressive picture
when at 10am over 50 cars were in and around
the
parking area
all
gleaming,
shining
and
buffed up. From serious contenders with unbelievable looking cars
to first timers only just stepping into the world of in car entertainment,
excitement grew as entries were pouring in! On the down side however,
so was the wind & rain, causing discomfort and delays - Our apologies
go out for the delayed start. Competitors didn’t seem to mind
the harsh conditions and Judging started shortly there-after. On
a brighter day I’d say there would easily have been too many
cars for the venue and Judges to handle. Cape Town has big potential
ahead!
Despite the conditions, there was no shortage of entertainment.
Byron our MC kept spirits high, a Mechanical rodeo bull took people
to task, a jumping castle for the kiddies to bounce around and the
guys from the RC Drift Club were there strutting there stuff, they
were awesome!!

Rain and heavy wind are not a perfect surrounding for an open

The frame was the Retro and Exotica Motor Show with its unusual cars
and even special hand made Trophies were the price for the winners.

International Kick Off at AMICOM Leipzig
|
|
The Very Beginning ...
A great event area at the Leipzig
Fairground, a serene spring mood among the manufacturers, great weather
(if you had the opportunity
to leave the exhibition hall) and an enthusiastic EMMA community
made the EMMA Kick Off at AMICOM 2011, a true mega-event.Around 100
Sound Cars from 11 nations launched this year’s
the EMMA competition season and presented for the first time in 2011
the results of their hard work to the ears and eyes of the multinational
EMMA judges. The EMMA juries as well as the visiting car audio enthusiasts
were particularly excited to welcome participants from Russia and
Turkey. In addition to those who already went with their sound system
through many EMMA contests, the judge was able to welcome some cars
with
fresh new sonic landscapes. Those among the newcomers who did not
immediately gain a trophy on the podium could definitely take home
plenty of input for of sound and installation improvement. Once properly
implemented, those tips might rather quickly make newcomers serious
competitors to the existing EMMA elite. Within the Advanced Categories
the fight was extremly hard for a beginning season and the level
was already almost on the Eurofinals level. The AMICOM/EMMA Saturday
Night Event was of course again a real highlight of this event: thanks
to the culinary contribution by the
EMMA San Marino Team who organised ajust great food in the real Italian
Style, and the hospitality of the AMICOM exhibitors the fairground
mutated on
this
evening to
a
Mega-Party
area. Tuning
Angel Katharina Kuhlmann wowed the audience with daily Mass Moderation
around all favorite subjects of sound, Show, Shine & Horsepower.
The RTL Car Dealers Jörg and Dragan provided fair visitors on
Sunday with their cranky stage show and raffled off many product
highlight from desired car audio brands. Together with Katharina
they also made sure that the award ceremony on Sunday afternoon became
a thrilling conclusion of this EMMA Kick Off. The AMICOM showed clearly
that the Car Entertainment is not dead and this platform is now the
standard to be measured in terms of perfect organised events.

Another “Sound, Entertainment & Convenience” car project
is ready for sound check and waiting on the EMMA stand: the VW Touran

infotainment experience can be realized >>see
clip on youtube. The project vehicle area is located next to the
main stage where it will be presented by TV Tuning Angel Katharina Kuhlmann.
More crazy stage action will come up when RTL Autohändler Jörg
and Dragan are going to rock the stage with raffles and their very special
show. Looks like the RTL Car Dealer Guys, will already join the Saturday
evening to "get together party". From 19:30 a German / Italian
buffet will be set up in front of the main stage. Be ready for some fresh
pasta and cold snacks from more than 1,000 kilometers south. The dinner
ticket is 24, -- €. EMMA participants will get a ticket with their
registration.
This years EMMA Kick Off welcomes almost 100 cars from over 10 nations
which will give an impression of the current level of car media professionalism
in Europe. Several new projects have been announced for the contest as
well as some “classics like the Mini from Finland or the spectacular
installations of our Russian friends. EMMA competitors and the judge
team are expecting a very special challenge caused by the premier implementation
of the modified EMMA “double judging”-rule. The ceremony
on Sunday afternoon event again promises an emotional ending of this
year’s EMMA Kick Off.
See you all in Leipzig!

EMMA South Afrika Kicks Off
|
|
What a start to the season… The EMMA
South Africa season launch 2011 was a brilliant beginning to what
promises to be a competitive,
amazing season.
Respect to the competitors who took a chance and drove
a long distance to the Cradle of Human Kind on what looked to be
a dreary, rainy
day. Mother Nature was kind to us as we only had a few drops throughout
the day. All competitors were in high spirit as the day began and
the Judging started.
Byron our famous MC entertained the crowd & kept people occupied
with give-away’s and prizes for the duration of the day whilst
the judges worked through the entries…
There were a number of new competitors who surprised us with their
systems as well as a lot of familiar faces and cars, with vast improvements
since last season.There are some promising competitors this season,
especially the guys from Team Hygrade – who put in a lot of
effort and pay special attention to the feedback given by the judges.
Not to mention
some seasoned competitors who are continuously improving – Special
mention to Grant Rogers from Acousticworx with his Hertz / Audison
car for winning the Master Class! The 2 New categories Multi-Media
and ESQL, whilst small with limited entries, already show promise
to open up the market for new avenues
to compete as well as entertain!
Keep your eyes peeled for these! I’m sure the season ahead
will bring a lot of fun to the industry– with
a refreshing aspect to competitions in SA. Thank you to all those
who attended and competed, Those who didn't - you really missed out!
Well done to the winners! If you didn't
take a place in the competition - Well done for Competing, Looking
forward to judging your car with it's improvements, hopefully you
get a place next time! Special Thanks to our sponsors and stand holders:
Hertz, Audison, German Maestro, EarthQuake Sound, American Amps,

Rulebook Addendum 2011
|
|
The final version of the Rulebook Addendum is released
and immediate valid. A couple of adjustments and modification to
the current rulebook have been agreed. The major change is the
fact to switch to a single seat judging for international events,
to guarantee more fairness to the competitor. On national events
the current judge system will be continued. Real big changes are
planned to be launched for the next edition of the Rulebook 2012.
|
|
EMMA Headjudge Training 2011 in Bavaria/Germany
|
The Addendum 2011 will be published on March 15
|
Ultimate license to judge for 50 international
EMMA judges. From February 24th to 27th 50 EMMA Judges from 20
Nations
came together to take a great step in their judge career by becoming
an international EMMA Headjudge. The focus of this year’s Head
Judge Training was primarily set on the update of the Rulebook as
a fundamental judging tool for a new exciting EMMA competition season.
Main change is that from this season on all international events
Sound Quality will be judged from the driver’s position only.
In case of more than one person judging, the judges are demanded
to listen one after another. As a result, the average will be taken.
The new procedure will have its premier at AMICOM in Leipzig. Then
it is up to the national associations to adapt this revised procedure
during the season. Sound engineer Alex Pleines from Cap à pie
Studio and producer of the EMMA competition CD came to change ideas
end experiences with the international judges. He was also present
when details of the new EMMA competition CD were discussed. This
CD will include all new and ESPL competition tracks. A new DVD will
follow as well. Besides the work on the Rulebook the schedule included
discussions about marketing strategies and sponsor relations in the
EMMA countries where a new great season with more than 400 events
is expecting thousands of competitors and event visitors. And: yes,
of course, there was a lot of party! After every worky training day
a fun filled evening was waiting for the attendants. Everyone who
has plans of being a part of EMMA’s powerful and music loaded
event motor is having the chance to become a future headjudge by
entering the EMMA judge team in his/her country. For more information

Premiere for fair triple AMITEC/AMICOM
and AMISTYLE
|
|
The fair combine AMITEC, AMICOM and the new fair
AMISTYLE from 9th to 13th April 2011 hits it off with the automotive
trade – the current number of registrations shows this. Leipzig
Trade Fair expects more than 350 exhibitors for the triple’s
premiere. “With this fair triple, we have developed an event
which is unique in Germany with a common focus on the after-sales
sector and which is met with keen interest in the industry,” says
Martin Buhl-Wagner, Spokesperson of the Leipzig Trade Fair Board
of Management. “The location Leipzig remains a crucial meeting
point for industry visitors and car enthusiasts after all in 2011 – even
without the AMI.”
The increasing average age of the vehicles and as well as the changing
expectations of car owners regarding the equipment increase the
importance of the products and services on which the AMISTYLE concentrates.
Dynamic living conditions within the family, at work and during
leisure time or changing demands in terms of aesthetics and comfort
boost demand for customisation, which makes the after-sales segment
a strong future market. “AMISTYLE is the first specialised
trade fair to take this industry trend into account,” Buhl-Wagner
says. “We have detected a strong interest in the newly conceived
AMISTYLE, which is primarily based on the clear differentiation
to existing car shows and the events dealing solely with tuning.”Already
before the premiere of the fair triple, Volker Lange, President
of the Association of International Motor Vehicle Manufacturers
(VDIK), is certain:
“ The introduction of the AMISTYLE combined with the AMITEC and AMICOM
and the clear focus on the growing after-sales field stabilises Leipzig as a
fair location also in a year without the AMI.” According to him, this is
a good transition, representing an additional incentive for a successful AUTO
MOBIL INTERNATIONAL with AMITEC and AMICOM from 14th to 22nd April 2012.”
AMICOM 2011 significantly growing
The AMICOM will be the leading European trade fair for the entire
in-car electronics industry in 2011. After the successful start
into the year 2010, Project Director Matthias Kober expects a further
increase in the number of exhibiting companies and the booked surface.
Moreover, he expects a “feast of innovations”. Market-leading
