The 'ADAC' ('Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobil-Club e.V.') is
Germany's and
Europe's largest automobile club, with 15,290,614 members in August 2005. It was founded on
May 24,
1903 as ''"Deutsche Motorradfahrer-Vereinigung"'' and renamed in
1911.
ADAC ''Yellow Angel''
Both the ADAC, and its older rival
AvD (the organizer of the
German Grand Prix), are members of the
FIA and the
DMSB. The
European Grand Prix, the former ADAC
Eifelrennen, the
24 Hours Nürburgring and many other races are hosted by ADAC.
The ADAC also operates a large fleet of mobile mechanics in yellow cars that assist motorists in trouble - the ''Yellow Angels''. The ADAC runs its own modification center whereby ordinary
vans are turned into mobile
garages (pictures only depict Ford Galaxies) in 55 man-hours.
In addition to this, the ADAC provides 36 helicopters for urgent medical rescues in Germany, strategically placed so that any location can be reached within 15 minutes.
