Default Dec 4 :my ride in a 360 ! (+Countach, Porsche, Alpine...)

Yesterday was a little track day with some really nice cars 8)
For only 7€ you could make 3 laps (as the passenger, of course) in "little" race cars (206 S16, Clio cup, Golf GTI...) and for 30€, exactly the same but in a 360 or some porsche's

Unfortunately the weather wasn't that good, so the pics are a bit too dark ...

Well ... here's the beast, a 2002 360 Modena F1
(it's me in the car on the first pic)


That was absolutely stunning :shock:
It was the first time I sat in a Ferrari, I was immediately stuck to the seat, the most important thing in the car was the handle, I held it all the time
This isn't a fast track, we could only do ~170 km/h ... still very fast in these conditions, it kicks ass
The driver was also the owner, he was kind and I could ask him some questions after he put 80 liters gas in the car (2nd pic) He already ordered his 430 but it will only be delivered next year, according to him, you have to wait 2 years if you order one today :shock:

Here are the other pics I took




I saw this Countach 5000QV when I arrived and I took some pics, I wanted to take more but when I got back, it wasn't there anymore and the only front pic I have is blurry :x


Behind the ferrari dealership which is next to the racetrack, some nearly destroyed cars :cry:


I also went to a little rally

The track is called "L'anneau du rhin" and it's there :

In fact they don't do that every week end, it was because of the Telethon, all the money was given to an association

Hehe, everything died because of the Enzo/F50 owner so the count is still at 2 and no idea when it could raise

Hey, a good action, a good ride in a good car that's what I call a good day
Too bad for the weather, hope it will be better next time and I'm sure you'll be there

Oh jesus.....lucky you.......the 30€ for 3 laps in a 360 Modena is not a bad idea at all.......and i think that you must have been in quite a long queue for waiting the chance to codrive the ferrari......

About the pics....simply awesome......from the 911...which looks awesome regardless the version we are talking about, the alpine A110 looks amazing as well, the countach 5000, the Escort Cosworth, the Maxi Turbo, the 3.0 CSL.....simply every car.....
