Dec 4 :my ride in a 360 ! (+Countach, Porsche, Alpine...)

[Darkel]

Yesterday was a little track day with some really nice cars 8)
For only 7€ you could make 3 laps (as the passenger, of course) in "little" race cars (206 S16, Clio cup, Golf GTI...) and for 30€, exactly the same but in a 360 or some porsche's :D

Unfortunately the weather wasn't that good, so the pics are a bit too dark ...

Well ... here's the beast, a 2002 360 Modena F1
(it's me in the car on the first pic)

That was absolutely stunning :shock:
It was the first time I sat in a Ferrari, I was immediately stuck to the seat, the most important thing in the car was the handle, I held it all the time :D
This isn't a fast track, we could only do ~170 km/h ... still very fast in these conditions, it kicks ass :D
The driver was also the owner, he was kind and I could ask him some questions after he put 80 liters gas in the car (2nd pic) :mrgreen: He already ordered his 430 but it will only be delivered next year, according to him, you have to wait 2 years if you order one today :shock:

Here are the other pics I took

I saw this Countach 5000QV when I arrived and I took some pics, I wanted to take more but when I got back, it wasn't there anymore and the only front pic I have is blurry :x

Behind the ferrari dealership which is next to the racetrack, some nearly destroyed cars :cry:

Hehe, I was waiting for this topic to appear :D

And it's nice to have more and more Ferrari (and similar) rides had by our members :D

Thanks for the pics.. indeed a bit dark but we dont' care :D

[Mopsdrops]

omg, you're so lucky !!! very nice pictures and many great cars. but the Countach needed a big wing IMO. Thx for the pictures

BTW, can you please tell me where you've did this ? cause if it's on not so far in the south I wanna go to :D

[Darkel]

The track is called "L'anneau du rhin" and it's there :
http://img25.exs.cx/img25/2640/e8d316c4ea1ff.gif
In fact they don't do that every week end, it was because of the Telethon, all the money was given to an association

[SilviaEvo]

wow dude i envy you too! whatever happened to TT's drive in a Ferrari?

Hehe, everything died because of the Enzo/F50 owner :( so the count is still at 2 and no idea when it could raise :D

[Wutputt]

Really nice pics. I especially like the ones of the red and blue Alpine A110 together!

[360modena]

Hey, a good action, a good ride in a good car that's what I call a good day :wink:
Too bad for the weather, hope it will be better next time and I'm sure you'll be there
next year.

[Ford Capri 2.8i]

Oh jesus.....lucky you.......the 30€ for 3 laps in a 360 Modena is not a bad idea at all.......and i think that you must have been in quite a long queue for waiting the chance to codrive the ferrari......

About the pics....simply awesome......from the 911...which looks awesome regardless the version we are talking about, the alpine A110 looks amazing as well, the countach 5000, the Escort Cosworth, the Maxi Turbo, the 3.0 CSL.....simply every car.....

[SPEEDKILLAR]

Now that's what I call spending some fun time... :D

[Pimp Racer]

WOW nice pictures man! You rode in an Alpine! you lucky you!

[SPEEDKILLAR]

WOW nice pictures man! You rode in an Alpine! you lucky you!

I don't think so :?

[dingo]

Thats some money well spent, I'd pay alot more for this oppprtunity. :D Thanks for the pics and congrats on the ride. :wink:

[Darkel]

and i think that you must have been in quite a long queue for waiting the chance to codrive the ferrari......
I only had to wait 10 minutes, thanks to the weather :roll:

Pimpracer >> I didn't ride in an alpine, would have been nice tho :P

[sndr]

Lucky you must have been amazing
:D

[Chingachgook]

Fantastic !!

The Ferrari, the Alpina, the Countach and the R5 Maxi, one of my fav cars ever !!!

[stradale]

Wow, lucky you... :D Looks like you had a terrific day!

A couple of fast laps in a 360 Modena, lots of beautiful cars.... Sounds like heaven to me.

The Countach you saw is one of a kind. It is breathtaking. I know, cause I've seen it before. It belongs to Raymond Stofer and it's formerly owned by Patrick Mimran. It is one of the best looking Countaches there is (if not THE best looking). For more pics and info on this great car, check http://www.countach.ch

[sentra_dude]

The Countach is amazing...

Glad you got a ride in a Ferrari...:P :D

[possessed_beaver]

totaly sweet collection of cars man, my personal fav - the cossie escort damn!!!

looks a bit overcast, it diden't rain to ruin the day did it?

[Darkel]

I didn't know tihis Countach was so famous :D

In fact the track was just wet but it didn't rain during the day; the ferrari owner had also the chance not to burn too much rubber :wink:
It just ruined my pics :mrgreen:

[ARMAN]

Man, I would pay that money 3 times and drive 30 mins :P

[Darkel]

I saw this 360 again, yesterday at the new ferrari dealership which has just opened (and you know what that means ...) :D
