Great pics Darkel, the Lambo pics are amazing but i'm not really liking the red Lambo too much, I don't think red looks too good on any new Lambo.

[Schwalbe]

Merci Darkel ! , you brought back some beautiful pictures to us. Especially cars which I like : Audi RS4/S4, Lambos and Porsche.. :D

[possessed_beaver]

[itsthepham]

Oohhhhh love the pictures. Are those it from the actual race?

[Darkel]

Unfortunately no, they just walked beside the car and after that they returned to the motor homes but I didn't have any access to this area.

[Darkel]

Try to quote my first post and you'll see; it's basically the same thing than TT does, the first url is the high res pic and the second is the link to the thumbnail

[Darkel]

The actual race ?
