Another tuning meeting in Salzburg, another crowd at the Airport Center: Hundreds of PS fans met up on the night of the public holiday and let their engines roar. The police were also on site and handed out fines and reports.

In an interview with the "Krone" newspaper, the police estimated that there were just under 200 vehicles. As is now the case almost every weekend, many young people gathered at the Salzburg Airport Center on May 1st. With their cell phones out, they filmed drivers spinning the tires of their powerful cars and creating smoke and noise with these burn-outs. Police officers also turned up to check on the drivers, some of whom came from other federal states and even neighboring countries. "20 charges were filed and 40 tickets were handed out", according to the police press office. The tickets were for minor offenses and the fines were collected directly on the spot.

Tuners were also checked in Bavaria
The tuning drivers had previously had dealings with other police officers: As the "Krone" found out, the PS fans were already on the road in neighboring Bavaria. Police officers also turned up there and carried out checks. And probably handed out a few fines to the drivers.
