"Roarington: A virtual city to connect old and young in the classic car world", headlines the NZZ. Herbie Schmidt, the newspaper's automotive expert, goes on to write: "The Classic Car Trust (TCCT) wants to use the Auto Classic in the Metaverse to enable collectors to still cultivate their hobby even when electrification changes the car industry permanently. 'Roarington sees itself as a bridge builder between real and virtual life around classic cars,' says Kaiser. 'Fritz Kaiser has once again taken a bold step."
"The automotive expert also asks the crucial questions: 'Will the world of old gentlemen from the USA come to the Metaverse to meet other collectors?' Will there be significant sales to recoup the investment? Will the youth get excited about classic cars?" In conclusion, Herbie Schmidt judges: "Kaiser's success rate speaks for it."
