Towing race car through Switzerland - Issues

[bigdry]

Hello all, can anyone tell me if they have attempted trailering a race car through Switzerland on their way to Italy if there any issue Swiss borders and vignettes?

I have a large long wheelbase Iveco (regular 2 axle, 3.5t) and a covered large trailer with touring car on board - so over 3 tons gross train mass (prob 4 tons in total approx).

I've heard that the border control can be an issue and regular van vignette will not apply, and that heavy good vehicle charges will be in effect.

I usually drive this way rather that through France to avoid expensive peage/tunnel charges, but never have with this particular van and never with a trailer too. thx

that escalated quickly!

ending seems harsh, he was asking a polite question, you even seemed to be happy to give him some info, then it got aggressive at the end!
