Danish Carshow - SLR - Carrera GT - F430 - Gallardo and more

[adamwich]

Last saturday I went to the danish carshow called "Cars in Bella".
The visitors were able to buy a ticket to get a ride in one of the supercars.
I got a ride in a yellow Ferrari F430 - and I must say, it was the coolest thing I have ever tried! :D
You are able to view all the pictures I took by clicking on one of the pictures:

You could have a ride in the SLR, the Carrera GT, the F430, a Maserati and in a few smaller cars.

:shock: :shock: Really good !!! I would love to get into an event like this.... :roll:

The grey F430 spider is really sexy, and usually I think grey cars are boring! The grey Cayman S doesn't look bad either...

The Ford GT looks way better with those awesome wheels :drool:


:arrow: Why did you get a ride in the F430 ?? Did you choose that car, or was the only one available ???

I got a ride in the Ferrari because it is one of my favorite cars - and I just had to try it! :D As I said before I could also have had a ride in the SLR or the Carrera GT, but they didn't drive them as hard as the Ferrari!

I understand !! The CGT or the SLR might be faster but the F430 is so loud!!! :o I would choose the F430, too 8)

[adamwich]

:drool: :drool: Grey is the best color for the F430, I always have to buy a new keyboard when I'm looking at pics of it on the net....I drewl all over it and it all ends with some flashy fireworks.

:lol: lol!

Yeah! The F430 has the most amazing engine sound I have ever heard!

[Skaala]

dude, that is one cool event! :D I imagine the F430 sounded great!

[sentra_dude]

Wow, awesome pictures, that sounds like major fun! Personally I might have gone for the Ford GT, but that's just me...8)

Nice little event! I am sure I would have paid for the CGT since it would be easier to skeak in an F430 at other events ;) but still, an F is always an F!!!

Why "cars in bella"?? Is it some pathetic try to use italian language?

[yg60m]

Thanks mate, this looks like a great event !! I would too have paid for a CGT but it was certainly overbooked :P

[Zot09]

That is awesome! Thank you for the pictures! I wish there were events where you could buy rides in supercars around here. How much were the tickets?

Well the place is called the "The Bella Center" - Here they have lots of different shows and exhibitions. I guess they called the show "Cars in Bella" to let everyone know where it was! :D

[adamwich]

That is awesome! Thank you for the pictures! I wish there were events where you could buy rides in supercars around here. How much were the tickets?

The price for one ticket was about $160 - and everything the event earned would go to charity. I got a ride in a Ferrari while helping other people! Great.

That's not cheap!! A member from Australia, I think, get into an event like this and the ticket was much cheaper, but since this is a lifetime experience I wouldn't even think twice. Bring me a Ferrari !!!! :mrgreen:

It isn't cheap - but it was worth it! :D

^ I see some kind of racetrack. How long did you ride in the Ferrari ?

[adamwich]

I got two laps around the track.. I am not sure how long it was though.. Going to check it!

[stmoritzer]

[chest3r]

:shock: :shock: Did they earned all that money just with the tickets to get a ride in the cars ???

I am not completely sure, but I think so!

Uhm.. it seems kinda difficult to raise 1.6 milions just with 160 $ rides.. even if SLR and CGT costed probably more, let's say an average of 200 $ / ride, that makes 8100 rides needed to raise 1.6 milions. ALl in all, strapping ppl in, doing the laps and getting out should take something between 5 and 10 minutes I'd say... let's say 5 minutes. There were what, 5 cars lapping? (CGT, GT3, SLR, GT, 430). if my maths are ok the 5 cars would have required to run with no break for 135 hours each.. admittely all this is a rough estimate, but noway they could raise such money just with those rides.. I suppose the even lasted one, max two days...

[Wutputt]

Nice event, and nice pics. From the pics it looks not only the F430 was driven hard, but also the SLR (look at the body roll) :D

My brother just told me that the huge amount was what the entire show earned for charity! Not just the racing part!
