Great set of pics! How did you take this one? Flickr EXIF says no flash fired but the wheels are really well lit and the sun is on the other side. Did you have any off camera flash?

Nurburgring 24H 2012
So finally the big day arrived. I was planning my trip to the 24H at the Nurnburgring. After a restless few hours of sleep I got up at 4am and left house at 5am. I took the time to read the latest standings and weather forecast. Rain was expect, so the umbrella was packed too.
Around 5.30am the sun started showing itself. Still more than 150 km separated from the track. Glad my psp showed me the way. Everything in style
The directions from Vince were really good. And the infrastructure around the track made it very easy to park my car and spot an Artega. Nice car with a nice sound as well.
My attention was immedialty grabbed by the non working rollercoaster Ring Werk. It reminded me of a trip to Vegas, where you can enjoy rides through hotels. Having worked for a rollercoaster manufacturer I can imagine what the Ring Werk would cost. Too bad.
The entrance of the Nurnburgring starts at the Nurnburg Boulevard. Lot's of luxury car brands have a shop on the boulevard. I know that all these new buildings are the cause of the financial problems the Nurnburgring is facing, but it sure says Welcome Racefan.
Vince_Fiero, Poolhaas, and I agreed to meet at 8am at the Aston Martin shop. I already arrived at 7.15 am, so time for a coffee with Poolhaas who arrived pretty early too. Once Vince_Fiero arrived the rain stopped and we went to the track. We spend some time on top of the pitboxes. Teams were switching from intermediates to slicks to cope with the drying racing line.
Next we found Chris's (gtplant member Christhedude) truck in the paddock. We were told he would be woken in 10 minutes. Chris was very friendly and took his time for talking about the race and also GT5. He explained that the real differnce between GT5's interpretation of the Nordschleife and the real track is the bumps. You cannot feel that in the game, while in reality it is the more demanding feature of the track, when compared to other race tracks.
Chris also explained that his 911 was twitching under heavy braking in the rain. Also, you do not ride the kerbs on the Nordschleife, because they are too high. However, you can use the kerbs on the Grand Prix strecke.
When I asked Chris if he had another job in addition to the racing, he responded that he is a professional race driver. Being 24 years old he stays fit by special diets and some bitching workout program. And it shows.
Thank you very much Chris for your time and all the best with the rest of your carreer. I will follow it.
Lot's of people bragging with Aston's.
Next we headed for the camping track side. Quite an awesome atmosphere. BBq's, campfire, and beer all over the place. A lot of improvising too. The structures that some people build really amaze me
Poolhaas and I walked further in the woods, trying to get to other parts of the circuit. We failed. At a certion point we did not even here the cars, let alone seeing them. So a hike in the woods for 2 hours we decided on returning to the civilized world of motorsports.
The race was nearing its end. We did not see Chris's 911 anymore. It appeared the car suffered mechanical failure in the last part of the race. Better luck next year.
Here is a video from the last hour in the race:
Here is a video where the racer winner stalled his car after a donut:
These stickers add 20 horses to your car. Honestly they do.
Nurburgring, see you next year!

Wow Marco, that's one fantastic set
I also have a story to tell.
Today I was on my way to PE. I was passing by Ferrari showroom, just like everyday. I noticed opened door on the other side of it. So I walked to that side, and saw this magnificent 599 GTB Fiorano:
But that's not the best.
I finished taking the pictures. I was waiting for 50 bloody minutes for this 599 to get parked inside so I could get a nice video for you guys. Unfortunately, I had to go to my PE.
Anyway, 10 minutes after I took the last picture, I noticed three gentlemen getting out of the dealership; I recognized the general director of Ferrari Poland - Dante Cinque, who by the way is also the main editor of 'V12', my favorite cars-related magazine.
Two months ago I bought the first issue of 'V12', so now I have all of them. I decided to buy it because I had an occasion to see Mr. Cinque already, but I realised it was him literally two minutes too late. From then on, I always had the first issue in my backpack so he could sign it if I eventually saw him.
It happened today, then. Here is the proof:
Translation:
288 Pages (!!!)/10 zloty (about 2,5 Euro) The world from behind the wheel.

It says: A Arek con simpatia, which means 'to Arek (yeah, that's my name) with sympathy'
I asked him to do it and I must tell he's pretty much the kindest person I've ever met in Warsaw.

Madertus, that was quite inspirational. I honestly wish I had dedication like you! 👍
If I was in your position i'd carry that magazine for about a week, then accept the fact that I'll never get it signed and probably shelf it.
I'm really lacking willpower these days...
Edit: Is that a race modified Audi S8 on the Nürburgring? That's ridiculously awesome!

Willpower? Puh-lease dude... I'm the least confident person in the world
But with this one I just knew I'd see Cinque once again, sooner or later. Especially during late spring/early summer period, when Italian diamonds are easiest to spot near the showroom.(this may sound a bit selfish)
But man, how lucky does one have to be for such coincidence? My faculty is 70 meters away from Ferrari dealership whose main director is the main editor of my favorite magazine.
I think poolhaas wanted us to pay attention to its shape.
I didn't notice that; that's quite... questionable...?

I like this P1800 Volvo. Did you guys know that one of those holds the Guinness world record for the longest car mileage? Its owner, Irv Gordon (USA), did over 2.6 million miles in that, as of October 2007. He's hoping to get over 3 million
Did you know that the P1800 is also Volvo's only sports car? And it had a V8 that Volvo was also using for their trucks at the time.
I was not aware they made a wagon version of it until this week.

Veyron Gran Sport at La Vie En Bleu. Still cant get over how quiet they are.
Plenty of other awesome cars too, but as usual I couldnt be bothered to take photos.

Looking at the website for the event looks like they had some great cars there. Ironically I just saw this video, did you happen to see it in person?
