Do you know what that yellow Renault is between the Red alpine and white Renault 5 GT Turbo.

A Renault 17 TS.

 

[Bom15]

kk thx. I think you got it from it's best angle. The back's abit odd.

 

[poolhaas]

With some time to spare here is a last bit.

And last but not least, the star of the show. Driven by Daniel Ricciardo.

And Poolhaas, was the F1 nice and noisy?

And Poolhaas, was the F1 nice and noisy?

Yeah, you could hear it starting up from a distance. I just managed to shoot this video during the start up, the revs are limited but you can see the people behind the engine were glad it didn't go full blast there



The noise it made when doing the 2 laps were amazing

Dad noise

Just went back from my annual pilgrimage.

It is a charity event held each year at my local racetrack, Circuit du Val de Vienne in France (50km from my place).
Called Sport et Collection, the event is one of the biggest Ferrari meeting in Europe and each year, 500 Ferrari gather up to raise money against cancer.
500 other sports & racing cars are also present during the 4-day event.

The first day (thursday) is a track day thing with unlimited access to the racetrack for drivers who signed up for the event.
The rest of the weekend consist of a huge exposition on the paddock and every 30 minutes, track sessions are taking place on the circuit (Ferraris, Modern GT, LMPs, F1, Vintage LM, Bugatti Grand Prix...).
Also during these three days, visitors can buy a "racetrack baptism" and do three laps around the track in the passenger seat of some of the cars attending the event.
All the money raised during these four days are given to the University Hospital of Poitiers, (my home town) to fight cancer.

I go to this event every year and it is amazing.
There aren't many events where you can see that many Ferraris. From F1 cars from the 50s to the brand new Ferrari F12berlinetta, almost every Ferrari is represented here.

Anyway, I'm gonna stop talking now and show you some pics

​

This is just a few of the many amazing cars that were there this year.
If you want more, visit my album on flickr.

And if you happen to be in France next year the first weekend of june, please stop by 👍

 

[Madertus]

Thank you, good sir, for shooting this McLaren F1

Every time I look at it, it gets more and more magnificent. I think seeing one of those is my second biggest dream.

Not to mention that's one hell of an awesome set 👍

 

[Fido_le_muet]

Yeah, I couldn't believe it myself when I saw it.
It was my first time seeing one so I got a liiiiittle excited

 

[Madertus]

So I went to this Porsche Children's Day event on 2.VI. Quite a few rides there. Plus, I had an occasion to take a ride in a Porsche 930 Turbo '80!

Anyway, here are the pics I shot there:

This beautiful 911:

Two '80s 911s:

(too close to the damn fence)

My fifrst 911 targa:

997 Carrera S with GT3 RS bodykit (thanks go to aadil717 for correction!)

Blinker detail:

944 S2:

914:

Tweaked with (?) 993:

968 (thank you, Tyger, for correction)

This 930 I took a ride in:

BUT SUDDENLY!!! This astonishing Rolls-Royce (Phantom III ? - thanks go to Bom15 for somewhat settling it) turned up. The driver got lost; there was a wedding (aka 'game over') somewhere near there Too bad I couldn't get a better shot, I was in a queue for a ride

Any help on identifying this model would be appreciated:

Brand new Panamera 4S:

(this guy was so damn drunk)

Brand new Cayenne:

Once again, brand new, Porsche Boxster S:

The last totally new car from that day - 911 Carrera S:

Here, as a summary of new-ness:

NOW!!! This is by far one of the most breathtaking cars I've ever seen. It surely is the rarest car I've ever seen anyway.

Ladies and gentlemen, behold - Porsche 356 Carrera! There's only 14 of those in Europe left!

(again, God damn that fence!!! It was impossible to take a nice shot of rear angles)

 

[poolhaas]

Great last posts here Materdus and Fido 👍

 

[Fido_le_muet]

That 356 Carrera is amazing !
I guess you had a nice day Materdus

 

[aadil717]

Madertus, the 997 "GT3 RS?" is actually a 997 Carrera S with a GT3 bodykit.

Great pictures, wish I was there! BTW was there no Carrera GT? It's one of my all time favourite cars.

 

[Madertus]

poolhaas, Fido_le_muet, aadil717 - thanks for feedback!

Fido, Yeah, it was definitely nice Nothing better for me than just standing next to a nice car and admiring it

aadil, Thanks for correction, changing right now. Unfortunately, there was no Carrera GT. Chances of seeing one of those in Poland are more or less equal to my cat turning out to be a transformer. Had I seen one of GTs there, believe me - I'd be the happiest man alive. And I'd wait no-matter-how-long to record its revs.

 

[Bom15]

@Madertus - Sweet pics. Not keen on what they've done to the spoiler on the Boxster tough. I think your missing car might be a Rolls-Royce Phantom III. But don't hold me to that.

@Fido - Again sweet pics. Especially the 288 GTO & F40 LM. Some odd cars there also. The Chevron? And Peugeot racer looks odd. But nice.

I got another show on the 17th June. Then off to Goodwood FoS at the end of the month.

 

[ilikewaffles11]

Went to a British car show today and here's some of what was there.

While coming home we stopped at this dealership which has really overpriced cars. Either that or they're completely shot. They have a Ferrari 512 in the garage which I couldn't get a picture of because it was closed.

BMW M5 by ilikewaffles11, on Flickr

There was another 924 which was completely shot and two 944s there also.

[MarcoM]

Some nice events in the summer months. Nice pictures everyone.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

Ford GT with my Town Car in background.



It had aftermarket exhausts, it sounded great.

 

[uMadson?]

So I went to the mall to play in the arcade but before that...

BMW 1M Coupe

Alpina B12

BMW 2002

 

[Madertus]

WOWZA at that B12 That 2002 is amazing as well.

8 series is definitely one of the best BMWs ever made.

And 1M... I can't say whether or not there's another small car that reminds me of a portable rocket THIS much.

 

[Tyger]

I follow the other DYSAGT thread more than this, but seems I might be missing out! Those Ferrari and Porsche event pics are just AWESOME. Madertus, your 928 is actually a 968, still a great car. And the 356 Carrera, well what can I say, OMG.

 

[Crumpet]

Went to one of the biggest events in England today. Will be making a thread later, have a lot to post.

 

[ilikewaffles11]

I took the first few pictures about a month ago and was at this dealer again today but they didn't have many new cars in.

Nice ones, but the Ferrari 308 needs a new paintjob in my opinion.

 

[uMadson?]

at the 996 cabrio.

 

[ilikewaffles11]

May as well post the rest of my dealer spots from ages ago while I'm at it.

Some random used dealer we stopped at.

Next to the Lexus dealer was the BMW and used Mercedes dealer.

Down the street is the actual Mercedes dealer which is crazy. The dealer is actually a mansion and the owner displays some of his cars up on the balcony. I should've got more pictures but was in a hurry.

Finally, the new Lotus dealer which replaced a Jeep dealer. These are pretty bad pictures so sorry about the quality.

Oh I almost forgot, next weekend I'm going to a Concours D'Elegance which always has tons of nice cars, previous years had two Maserati MC12s, a Ferrari F40, and an Enzo Ferrari so I'll get lots of pictures from this year's show.

I've seen that Mini, that's at the dealership on Baum blvd, right?

And where are the Lexus and Mercedes dealers at? I have to know! Are they near the Lotus dealer? (I assume that's the one in the north hills on route 19). Anyway, I know of a place down the road from the Lotus dealership that services speciality cars. It's called Exoticars. Check it out!
