To Hell & Back – The Camber x Auto Finesse Tour

Some trips you plan. Some trips you just feel. To Hell & Back was both.

When our good friend Marius from Camber launched his first event in 2024 at Mendig Airport, we knew he was onto something. The guy’s wild—in the best way—and when he told us he was coming back bigger for 2025, we knew we had to roll deep, support, and make it a tour to remember.

So we rounded up 15 Team AF members, fired up the cars, and left Auto Finesse HQ at dawn. Destination: Germany.

Day One – On the Road

Convoy vibes. Sunrise across the M25, coffee in hand, the Euro Tunnel swallowing us whole before spitting us out on the other side. Mendig Airport was calling. We landed, shook off the miles, sparked up a BBQ, grabbed a few cold ones, and settled into the atmosphere. Just mates, cars, and anticipation for what was about to unfold.

Day Two – Controlled Chaos

10am. The gates open, and so does Marius’ imagination. If you’ve met him, you know: the man doesn’t do “simple.” When we say he wanted it all, he did it all.

• Show cars lined across the airfield, metal from all corners of Europe.
• Skate jam on makeshift ramps.
• Two stunt planes carving smoke across the sky in a live aerial display.
• Drifting, drag racing, and circuit racing all happening in one day.
• An official BMW safety car—on loan from the factory—driven by Marius to open the show.
• And to top it? An afterparty inside a hangar with a car literally hanging from the ceiling. Don’t ask how—it was there, it was insane, and it somehow came back down.

It was pure, unfiltered car culture. Overload in the best way.

Day Three – From AF Germany to the ’Ring

After the madness of Saturday, Sunday hit different. A slow morning, then a trip to Auto Finesse GmbH HQ near the Nürburgring—our German base where we store, ship, and connect with the EU car community. The crew got a behind-the-scenes look at the setup before heading to the track itself: the Green Hell.

For some of the team it was a return. For others? First laps ever. The Nürburgring doesn’t care who you are—it’s a rite of passage. Some drove their own cars, some jumped in Ring Taxis for the full-send experience. Either way, it was grins, nerves, and adrenaline from pit exit to pit lane.

We wrapped the night at Ventisette, one of our go-to spots near the ’Ring, trading stories over plates of pasta and cold drinks before crashing at the hotel.

Day Four – Back Home

Monday morning came quick. Bags packed, convoy loaded, tyres still warm from the ’Ring, we headed back across Europe with stories that’ll stick forever.

Why We Do It

To Hell & Back wasn’t just about a show. It was about friendship, community, and doing stupidly ambitious things because someone dared to. From BBQs in the paddock to stunt planes in the sky, from cars sideways at Mendig to flat-out at Nürburg—it was everything we love about this culture, condensed into one wild weekend.

Big love to Marius and the Camber crew for pulling off the impossible, and to every member of Team AF who made the journey. Same again next year? Yeah, you already know.
