Preview Shot: A drifting M3 GTR at the Nürburgring

[c0wb0y007]

I went to the training- and qualification sessions at the Nordschleife for the 24-hours race of the Nürburgring. This is just a preview shot of what's coming on. This is the Nr.2 BMW M3 GTR drifting its way through Schwalbenschwanz also known as the Mini Carussell.

I use a Nikon D70, the lens that I used back there was a Nikkor 80-200mm f/2.8 (not mine). The weather conditions were awful, low-light situation. So, I'm glad I could use that glasswork :) Although, that I will never buy it myself, it is quite an old one too which makes it heavy. I would go for a 300mm one.

Thanks for your replies

I have just read that this years' 24-hours race has been won by this M3 GTR. So, Congrats to the whole team. Spectacular car, sound and driving :!:

Btw: the second place is for the other M3 GTR, the one with number 1.

my god crips quality!

How much do those cameras cost?

[WRX]

Here, in Spain, I saw the D70, Nikkon, about 900 €, so I´ve too much work to do to get one of those. :lol:

You will pay 1200 € for the whole kit (= D70 + 18-70mm Dx lens + 70-300mm zoomlens) here in Belgium, so I geuss it will be cheaper in the US. It's a "bargain", in a few weeks Nikon will release an updated version of the D70 it is called the D70s. Nikon will give the opportunity to all D70-users to upgrade there camera to a D70s, you can download new firmware via their website. The only difference will be that the D70s has a 2" lcd-screen. A D70 produces high-quality pictures, but don't let them fool you, the most important thing is the lens !!!

The list is complete now and your orange Touran is in there as well.

These photos are a selection out of a big number of pictures of course.

My apologies in advance, still don't have a thumbnail prog.

Thanks man !!!

Normally I will go to a few VLN-races as well, VLN is some sort of championship that is only driven on the Nurburgring. And I still have to make a decent picture of the Uwe Alzen motorsport Porsche (700+bhp) 8) I have been unfortunated until now.

So, I will post some new pictures the following months.
