There wasn't very much driving and not many people it seems...Michiel, I was there saturday at 16.30h, naturally a lot of cars were already gone by than. Of course there certainly DOES has been a lot of activity on that day, as it was organized by Ferrari West Europe for there customers in Holland/Belgium and France. A few hundred cars has been there and they have been driving all day long. You thought the cars on my pictures was just thát :D? Sunday; beautiful wheather, sunny as from 10.30, nice temperature. Of course not too many people there as spectators are not permitted. It is only on invitation.

Ah, so that's the reason why. I knew there weren't any spectators allowed, but your pictures showed deafening emptyness on the track and in the paddock, hence my conclusion.

Maybe i should have mentioned that i was there at only 16.30. Maybe more people may have misunderstood it. But i couldn't be there earlier because of my work. I think with the pictures of Michael tomorrow of yesterday, that everyone will get a much better idea of what it was really like :).
It was truly amazing yesterday (sunday) great sunny weather great cars !

Here a small preview from the Spa Ferrari Owners Days. I will upload much more pics later this week! :)

I might be mistaken, but suspect 4 digits for the chassisnummer (not including a first 0)... ;)

Hello Peter, welcome at F-chat!
Here are some pics from your 430 Challenge. Unfortunately, I haven't seen the 360 CS on the circuit.

The 25O TR replica is based on 0603 GT , a 250 GT Boano.

Hello fellow Ferrari fans, this is my first attempt to post a reply on the forum. Hope everything works..... I'm not a computer wiz-kid. In random order I would like to share a few pictures I shot last week during the owners days at spa. I also made a short clip in the grey f430 scuderia doing 250 km/h. you can watch it on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tt825Hh2_zQ
I hope you like it!!
Johannus

Wow paul, nice pics, using a dSLR?
But i see a lot of pictures here of non-F owners, how did they get into the event? alongside with a F-owner or on some other way? Because i also saw Gairo was there, but i thought it was an F-owners only event... Anyone who can tell me?

I was lucky to get in trough one of the event sponsors: Marcolin. they are the manufacturer of Ferrari eyewear, correction frames, and sunglasses. I'm an optician, and our store is official dealer of Ferrari eyewear. We were asked to be there to help sell sunglasses at the event, that's how I got in..... I had to "work" there.
I use a Canon Eos 350D. Most of the picures were shot with a 75-300 lens.

hello Paul, welcome to the chat! we go way back isn't it?
have to say, magnificent photowork you did there!!
Cool pics all !!!
Concerning the pics ... do you need to get an accreditation to take as good shots as you've done ? I mean, so close from the track !!!
rossoferraridriver
17-06-2008, 20:53
Glad you like them, Thanks!! No, I did not get an accredition, the photo's were taken from the pitt-wall using a canon EOS-350D and a 75-300 lens. It gives a real rush being that close to the cars doing near 200 km/h. the distance is about 10 meters.
Paul, welcome here! What a nice pictures and a fantastic film from the Scuderia! That must be a nice experience!
do you have more pictures of the gumball 355 car?
Chris, here you have some pictures from the Gumball 355.
