Historic disc brakes
presentation of the 575 MM (a silver one)
and not completely ferrari, but still very cool and for the first time in Belgium the TGP (http://www.tgp-f1.com)
I'm going on sunday where i will meet *modena* for the first time.
I'll probably go on starday to.
If anyone ells of you guys happen to be in Belgium, you should really stop by. It's worth a visit

 

[*Modena*]

Well, it's possible I go on Saturday, if the weather isn't all that good. When the weather is good, I'm going to the Knokke on Saturday and to Francorschamps on Sunday

 

[FerRory]

Sunday I am planning to see the Formule 1 race. Otherwise i want to go to Spa. Sunday 2 juni there is a Italy day where a lot of ferrari's come.
And i am planning to go there. That is one the circuit of Zandvoort.

 

[Dj Dirk]

The Ferrari Days usually comes together with an F1 race, but i rather see real Ferrari's an entire day then 2 hours on the TV.
Besides they always announce the progress of the race in 3 languages.

Aha the Italian Days @ Zandvoort.
I'm planning of going there to this year for the first time.
Wanting to go for 3 years now.

So FerRory, i'm guessing that you are from Holland

 

[FerRory]

Yes i come from the Netherlands. And by us the racereports are in one language lucky me.

 

[Dj Dirk]

No it's really normal that on Spa you get the race reports in 3 languages.
first dutch then french, because belgium is a 2 language country.
And last english for everboy else. Like a lot of Germans

 

[Andrew]

how were the events

So how were all the events that everyone attended?
FerrRory,
Welcome to the forum its always great to see new members and this particular site seems to be drawing a very diverse crowd. I think this site now represents 10 different countries from around the world. Let us know how the F1 race went. I've only seen CART live and I know that TV does the sound and experience no justice.

 

[Dj Dirk]

Andrew, all those events are this weekend.
and the F1 race FerRory is talking about is the Catalunya Grand Prix in Spain. He is going to watch it on TV, just like you probably.
Can you see the F1 races on TV in the states??

 

[Andrew]

f1 in the states

You can see all the F1 races in the states on the channel speedvision but I do not get that channel. I think ABC shows a number of the events so I'll watch those when I can. The first race they are covering will by May 24th.

 

[*Modena*]

DAMN, no F1, that sucks!!! I hate it when I mis a race

 

[FerRory]

Maybe i go to SPA. My dad has said he wants to go to SPA whit a friend of my. But i don't know how much the entrance cost. Does somebody know that. Then i will miss the Formule 1 too.

 

[Dj Dirk]

you'r talking about the ferrari days this weekend wright??
entrance to the track and tribunes are free, entry to the paddock is 17€

 

[FerRory]

I was one th officiale site of spa and i saw that the price was €14,87.
What is know the good one. I think mine.

 

[Dj Dirk]

What are you talking aobut.
I'm looking at the official site now, and it says 17€
look: http://www.spa-francorchamps.be/en/index2.html

 

[Dj Dirk]

OK, i'm back from my first day on Spa.
Man what a day, the weather was as belgian as it comes.
I finnaly saw the barchetta, 575 MM, F1's, challenge and historic.
I shot 236 digital pics, and 10 and half roles of film (24 pics).

Here are some of the digital pics.

 

[Andrew]

second 360

The 360 with the yellow and black is awesome looking. Can't wait to see your pics of the 575MM. How did you like the digital camera? I love them because you don't have to worry about film anymore, and you can take 100s of pics. Delete the bad ones right after you take them. 10 rolls of film! You almost took 500 pictures. Can't wait to see some more.

 

[Dj Dirk]

Okay, day 2 at Spa is over. It rained practically all day.
But it was worth it :wink:
I shot 189 digital and 6 and half rolles.
I love that black and yellow challenge, it's one of my fav, shot it a lot.

I like digital, but it's not really good for on the track, that's why i still use rolles. Actually i bought the reflex-camera a couple of months ago, this was the first time that i used it on the track, i hope that they are good.
i'm gonna try and bring them in tomorrow.

I already posted some pics of the 575 MM, I think that i have about 30 pics ore so

here are some more to drool on

 

[FerRory]

The entree price was €17. your where right Dj Dirk.
It was a very nice day. I have seen many 360 challenge. I even walked throught the paddock of the teams. They had parked there cars where the formule 1 teams have there paddock. This was really cool. Only I haven't taken pictures there. The pictures that I have shoot. Are thursday ready.

 

[*Modena*]

Yeah, I also was able to walk through the pitlane, together with Dirk
We (Actually Dirk) also discovered a McLaren F1 street car hidden at the end of the pits.

 

[Dj Dirk]

Actually on sunday we snuck in at the 24 hours pitlane with the old cars
I brought in my roles today, but wensday is a holiday over here so everything is closed.
So i think that i have them back on friday.
