The Swiss Grand Prix , at times also the Bremgarten Grand Prix , is the name of a circuit race that was held by the Swiss Automobile Club . From 1950 to 1954 and 1982 the race was part of the Formula 1 World Championship .

The first race was held on the Bremgarten circuit during the 1934 Grand Prix season , and the Swiss Grand Prix was part of the racing series until the outbreak of World War II in 1939 . The record winner during this time was the German Rudolf Caracciola with three wins. After the war, three races of the Grand Prix season were again held in Bremgarten between 1947 and 1949 ; In 1950 the race in Switzerland became part of the newly founded Formula 1 as the Grand Prix of Bremgarten and remained on the racing calendar until 1954.

After the serious accident at the Le Mans 24-hour race in 1955 , in which 84 people were killed, circuit races were banned throughout Switzerland for safety reasons , which meant the end of the Swiss Grand Prix .

Nevertheless, a Swiss Grand Prix was held in each of the 1975 and 1982 Formula 1 seasons, and both races were held on the French Circuit de Dijon-Prenois . The 1975 race was not part of the world championship, in 1982 the future world champion Keke Rosberg won his only race of the season here.

On March 21, 2003 in the Federal Assembly of Ulrich Giezendanner a parliamentary initiative submitted to allow circuit racing again. After the Council of States did not enter into the business for the second time on June 10, 2009, the initiative was finally rejected and circuit races remain banned in Switzerland. The focus of the discussion was no longer security, but environmental and transport policy considerations.
