Default The ring once more: part i

Since I'll be heading to the Ring again next Monday afternoon, I should post some pics of my last visit, two weeks ago. I didn't had the time to edit and upload all the pics, but I'll already post these ones. I'll give some comments later on and let you enjoy the pics first.

Ring Taxi:







Some Ferrari action:










Gallardo:





AM Vanquish and DB9:




new V8 Vantage (and I missed two other ones, one in british racing green and the other in some sort of blue, I should watch out better next time):











Going to the brand that's represented the most at the ring, Porsche.

996 GT2 (there was also a 4th, yellow one, but I didn't had a chance to take a pic of it before it crashed):





996 GT3, including Nitro's GT3:















996 GT3 RS:









996TT, Carrera and C4S:






997:





993 GT2:




993 RS and RSR:








993TT and Carrera (4)(S):









964 (mostly Turbo and RS):










930 (mostly Turbo):






911/930 Carrera RS:





TVR:






More, lots more will follow later on, going from M3 CSL over Ariel Atom, Alpine, Skylines, to American cars like Vipers, Vettes, Mosler and Cobra, and even some Ozzie power



So now a brief info about my ring-weekend. The weather was great this time, almost sunny all day, which was great for our ring-bbq. So there were a lot of cars on the track and in the parking lots surrounding the ring. On Saturday morning the Cannonball Run 8000 paid the ring a visit. No supercars, except a Mosler, but still some very nice cars that came by. The traffic on the ring itself was very dense, which resulted in a lot of accidents. The ring was shut down quite a few times. Sadly a friend of mine had an accident, luckily no one was hurt, only the car and the crash barrier had some minor damage (which cost him about € 1500 though). The Green Hell sure let everybody know it's name wasn't stolen. Overall I had a great time, even though we had some bad luck.

Amazing sightings as always, I won't even start commenting, it is just impossible!

About the AMV8, what kind of plates did it have? Just UK ones but with a rare shape (god knows why)?

Nice pictures Wutputt !!! Especially the ones of the GT3RS Porsches, the paintjob on itself makes it worth capturing it
You are getting a hang on those panning shots as well :good:

Keep up the good work

Cheers

Excellent pictures, Wutputt! Lots of familiar stuff. Now where are the action pictures of your buddies?

Please tell me that the V8 Vantage was at Brünnchen saturday before we arrived and not on sunday just after we left... :cry: I wish I could have seen it!

Damn your addicted to this place - can't blame you! Your a lucky guy to be able to visit the Ring so often.

Stunning cars as you'd expect, the CS being my favourite as its the best Ferrari (besides the supercars).

The AMV8 is a cool sighting too, and my favourite pic is the 2nd 997 one - looks great!

Thanks

sounds promising, must be a Monaro/Vauxhall I guess....

It's idd a US spec one, owned by AM itself, driven in Germany with UK license plates

I saw it at Brünnchen. Later on, it was at Pflanzgarten with two other V8 Vantages, but I missed the other two.

Since I often go to a track, I've seen quite a lot of them ops:
You should go to the Hungaroring

Some problems with an imageshack server. It should work now


And thanks all for the comments!

Great pics, love the angles you used on the AMV8
