Spa: Viper, Stratos, 996 GT3(RS), 911 Carrera RS, Skylines

[Wutputt]

This will be the last Spa topic this year ;) The pics were shot late October, when I made a quick 'pit stop' at Spa during a small track day. So don't expect much supercars ;) I arrived pretty late (at 3 o'clock) and it was already getting dark pretty soon. So not as many pics as usual, and it wasn't easy to shoot pics in the evening dusk. But the dusk pics that were ok turned out pretty nice.


Most special car of the day was this red Viper. I'm not too fond of the hardtop but this thing sounds brutal.

Also pretty special: a Lancia Stratos in original Alitalia livery. I didn't saw it driving on the track, so it prolly was there for another reason.

Turning to one of the many Porsches present, a nice mkI GT3 with BBS LM's:

In black with the standard wheels:

Another favourite of mine, a 993 Turbo. And it looks good in this dark blue.

There was only one Ferrari to battle against the Porsches, this silver 348 TS. Not the best colour IMO.

A few Skylines GT-R were present as well:

Lotus Exige, an ideal track day car. I like the striping on this one, looks different.

And to finish with a 996 C2 with he Aero Pack and a 996TT returning to the pits in the evening.

[Wutputt]

The alcohol is already rising to my brains, even if I didn't touched the champagne yet :)

I corrected the link ;)

[Stikz]

Beautiful pictures as usual :D Thanks Wutputt

[ARMAN]

993 turbo is my favorit also :love: but theres also awsome pic of Alitalia Stratos :shock: older 911's :P

Thanx Wuttputt! :P

[novass]

Nice find on the Stratos, I dont think I have ever seen one in person.

[Darkel]

The Viper's hardtop is quite nice IMO, I saw one in may @ Affolter :)
I love the green stripes on the Exige ... and what about the two black R34 GTRs :shock:

Thanks Wutputt !

[ae86_16v]

THat black Skyline is so sexy. . . :) . Thanks!

[TT]

WOW, the silver 348 is damn nice IMO! So rare!

As for the Stratos. such lovely cars!!!!! For a while I hoped to see at leat a roadgoing version, but it's still an amazing sight!

[dingo]

I missed this topic so far, got confused with all your topics lately. :P

I agree with TT about the 348 - awesome! :good:

The picture of the Exige from above is stunning, should be in next months contest IMO. :D

Thanks alot.

[blinkmeat]

Nice -

Love that exige pic - thanks mate

[TT]

Sorry dingo, but this topis was still posted in December... and since I was already working on the new poll, too late to change Wut's pic, but too early to be considered for next one :D

9mins into January..... :D

[sikx5]

Damn dude, this is an imense overload in pictures!!! Thank you!!
:mrgreen:

Out of this bunch that Viper looks the goods. That is one meancing looking machine. And the Lancia stratos is a great site for sure. Also the skylines, the black one with the semi-slicks :shock: :good:

[vakpemil]

Nice! A lott Porsche's I see! The R34 is awesome! Not a regular car in Europe!

[stmoritzer]

Sorry dingo, but this topis was still posted in December... and since I was already working on the new poll, too late to change Wut's pic, but too early to be considered for next one :D

did you choose the CGT pic or did Wutputt propose it?
anyway, I couldn't understand the choice, all the other pics from the CGT are better than the one in the poll, like

http://img364.exs.cx/img364/641/dsc8197e3qq.th.jpg

:idea: , if we take Wutputt's best pic every month, he'll always be in the top 2 each month :wink:




now to the cars:

the Exige picture from above is awesome!
so is the mkI GT3 with BBS LM's
and the rare Stratos

[Wutputt]

I missed this topic so far, got confused with all your topics lately. :P
LOL yeah I'm spamming the WYST section recently :P



I agree with TT about the 348 - awesome! :good:
Seems I'm the only one not liking the colour :)

I'll sneak that picture in one of the next updates without TT noticing it, if you want :mrgreen:

I think liking a certain pic is a personal choice (les gouts et les couleurs ne se discute pas ;)). Personally I liked the one in the poll over the other CGT pics, because of the helmet and gloves on the rear wing of the car.

[TT]

HAHA, if the author doesn't contact me telling which picture he wants to use, I pick it for him yes.

IMO the two posted by stmoritzer aren't as good, the first is framed too low and the angle is too "angled".
The second again framed too low and a bit too much to the right even :D

Anyway pictures are a VERY subjective thing :bah: Wouter is free, like everybody else, to let me know his favourite picture before the end of the month and the new poll of course ;)

Of course ! , but the Van in the background :roll: :wink:

[TT]

Sure, but all the rest was better :D the helmet on the car perfect showing, no weird angles ;) better framing.. again, as always, that's my opinion, and sadly everybody has his own :D that's why it is easier if everybody can PM me near the end of the month ;)

[Wutputt]

^^^
I was too lazy this month and couldn't decide which one to pick. So I'll let you do the hard job :mrgreen:

[stmoritzer]

totally agree with you TT - the helmet is cool, the angle is right...

@ Wutputt : next time, blow this f..ing Van away :mrgreen:

[Darkel]

Bring your own Carrera GT next time :P

[Schwalbe]

What a great selection of Porsche pictures, I particularly like those 993&996 turbo pix, the 996 GT3 RS and the cool yellow 993 RS ClubSport. Naturally, I thank you for these pictures and for the RS4 & RS6 too. http://www.rs6.com/smilies/thumbsup.gif

Only one small correction this car is not a RS2 but an Audi 100 S6 Avant:http://img407.exs.cx/img407/751/dsc2009e6vd.th.jpg


If only one picture could summarized SPA environment that would be surely this one: http://img407.exs.cx/img407/1845/dsc2149e1cf.th.jpg

Cheers !

@ Wutputt : next time, blow this f..ing Van away :mrgreen:

LMAO. Next time I'll connect my faithful bazooka to my camera shutter :P

Thanks for pointing that out! I'll update the page right away ;)
