Ring Time (30-10-2005)
 

I know I haven't yet posted all pics of my previous ring visits, but by accident I've edited the pics of this ring visit so here they are.

For a change I will just post some lowres previews on this page. But if you click on the pics you will be linked to a page with all the thumbnails of pics and links to the highres versions. I thought it would be better to show you a few 10 bigger pics on this page instead of hundreds of thumbnails. If you don't agree with this theory, just let me know ;)


You also have to excuse me for the picture quality this time. I accidentally shot every picture in ISO 1000. I only noticed this by the end of the day when it already was getting dark.


Let's start with Sabine, pusing the Ring-Taxi to the limit:

On of the most special cars around that day was this Ford GT40. I'm not really a conniusseur of GT40's, but I've a huge fealing this is not the real thing, just a replica:

Porsches are everywhere on the ring, and it wasn't a chance this day. Even a new Cayman S was lapping the track:

The autumn was clearly beginning to show at the ring: leaves were falling on the track. Very idyllic when a typical ring-car like a GT3 is passing :D

Of course some GT3 RS's were present as well:

I only saw three 996 GT2's this time; one standard model, the one from EDO competition and this GT2 "RS":

This time Ferrari was better represented compared to other weekends. This 360 was lapping quite often:

And at some point during the day I saw this 360 CS doing lap after lap. Th driver sure had ring fever :)

With the nice weather a yellow F430 Spider turned up:

Suprisingly two Z8's, not exactly track cars, were having fun on the track as well:

And to finish with this nose combo shot of two BMW 850i:

I like the new format, now let me drool on the pics before coming back and comment them :D

Very nice impressions, thanks Wutputt for the pics :D
The yellow Cayman is very, very nice, I saw the same colored car at the car SHow and it is IMO the best color I saw so far for a Cayman ( the dark blue one at the IAA was not bad either)

Nice pics. Every time i see ring pics i wonder how is it allowed to drive without helmet?

Thanks for the comments!


There reason why it's allowed: the Nordschleife officially is a public road. So helmets aren't allowed. On the other hand, it isn't allowed to pass on the right side. The rules on the ring are a bit different compared to a normal track.

nice pics and nice galerry :D

the ring taxi is cool-->becouse its an M5 :D

thanks for pics 8)

Brilliant pics mate!!

It's simple, I saved all your Porsche pictures from Nordschleife. :wink:

Thanks a lot Wutputt. :D

A green hell update is always welcome :)

The usual bunch of GT3 RS, lovely car which seemed to be made for this track, I wish I could see more of them :?
