Luckily a long time Dubspeed Racing member, Otti20v, is a Switzerland native, and was able to attend the Geneva Motor Show media days on our behalf. He’s given us these wonderful photos of what is one of the biggest and best auto shows of the season, and we hope you enjoy them as much as we did. Thanks Otti!
