Trackday : 997 GT3, 355, M3, Veyron ... (+ old Bugattis)

[Darkel]

Last sunday @ Anneau du rhin.
Rainy in the morning, nice conditions to practice panning shots :wink:

The Veyron is a factory car, it was driven by ... a factory pilot, so there was no real show, just a few (slow) laps to impress happy families with children :roll: :P

Nice pics Darkel, I like your panning shots!

[c0wb0y007]

Hi Darkel,

Some good images you have shot there mate! Looks to me it was an interesting trackday. Good fun.

The Veyron sure is an impressive car, clearly shown on your pics.

I like the Audi S6 as well, what a fast salon :-)

Nice pannings of the the GT3's, great job


Cheers

[Schwalbe]

Thanks Darkel for this very nice pictures set. :D

The Veyron is so amazing. :shock:

The 996 GT3 MKI and the 997 GT3 are superb. :love:

And thanks mate for the Ur quattro and S6 V10 pictures. :good:

Thanks mate, nice series :D

[TopGearNL]

All great pics man, I love that GT3!! :mrgreen:

Did you edit/finish your pics in PS, they have a special sort of look, saw it before with MartijnGizmo's pics ?

[Everlasting]

the stunning 512BB is my favorite!

[TNT]

nice pics, pretty good gathering you got there.

http://img159.imagevenue.com/loc578/th_61605_IMG_8372_122_578lo.jpg

^^ my favorite pic hands down.

[TT]

Nice pics dude and nice gathering. Too bad of course the Veyron was just sissied around the track :bah:

Usually I prefer pics with no sun risking to mess up some angles and indeed the ones took in the morning are really beautifull! I love that König!

And the BB catched in the street :love:

Wanna use one of these pics for the contest or should I stick to the F40?

[dingo]

Awesome photos mate!!

I'm just loving the 997 GT3 atm, and white is definately THE colour for it! :drool:

so you finally went to Anneau du rhin and captured some nice cars :wink: (did you organized a "prewarn-contact-person" working there :mrgreen:

love the white GT3 :D
Thanks for the pics

[sentra_dude]

As everyone else has already said, the white GT3 kicks ass. 8) Those panning shots of the GT3 need to be in the panning thread! :D

I really like this shot for some reason, even though that jerk didn't move his arm out of the side of the pic. :fist: :lol:
http://img138.imagevenue.com/loc308/th_61600_IMG_8353_122_308lo.jpg

Its nice to see some pictures of real Bugattis too... :P

Indeed, I played with the curves in order to get more contrast and compensate the grey weather. :bah:

I think I'll use one of the Veyron's, this one should make it :

No way, that was a public event :P

I really like this shot for some reason, even though that jerk didn't move his arm out of the side of the pic. :fist: :lol:
Dang, I kow it looks so amateurish ... didn't see him at that precise moment :/

[Cigarette1]

great shots Darkel ! Thank You

[yo_spc]

Nice shot of the Veyron!

[chest3r]

Nice lot of cars !!! :o

The 997 GT3 is definitely the best and best looking car in the current Porsche line-up. I'm just waiting to see one with black wheels :)

Oh yeah, it happens to everyone, I know its happened to me many times, but oh well, its still a cool shot! :D
