Ferrari days @ spa-francorchamps Report(+150pic @ 1600x1200)

[The Transporter]

Hi there,

I promise two days ago, I'm finally back from Francorchamps with many pictures and videos

I'm not very good at telling long stories, so I will display pictures and explain every of them, but let me explain a bit.

Everything begin the Friday.
I woke up at 8h00 and take the road to Spa/Francorchamps (S/F).

I was alone to go there cause nobody wanted to come with me cause they were all studying for exams, even my girlfriend

This is a picture I took on the motorway:



It was 10h45 when I arrived at S/F.

I was riding slowly cause the sight was very nice, this is a part of the Belgium I really like... suddenly



I saw that Enzo parked on the left side of the street !

I brake the car and stopped it in front of the Enzo.

I took alot of pictures





Here you can see my car... not the white ! the blue I was coming like the Fiesta in the background when I crossed the road to stop in front of the Enzo ... you can imagine the heads of ppl inside the Enzo




Suddenly one of the man called me in english and asked me for the road to the city, not the circuit.



I took pictures of inside too:




I helped them, they say thanks ... and they leaved.

Then, I saw that 360. It was the first time I saw a Ferrari with the engine turned on in front of me. I parked my car as fast as I could ... and took pictures... but isn't it a 360 CS ?



Yes it is !!!



Now I was looking for the entry of the circuit.

Here is an overview of the circuit:



I was parked near 'Ligne de départ'.
There were not alot of cars but a big shiny sun.




I saw another Ferrari while walking to the circuit:



Some Ferraris were exposed there



The only problem I met, it was that I was alone there.
Nobody to take a picture with me and Ferraris.

So I asked to that man in blue on the pictures





And he took a photo with me and Ferraris




Then I spoke a bit with him... He was there alone too ... and wish what ! ? ! He live at 10 min from my house !!! What a great coincidence !!!
I proposed him to stay with him cause he was knowing the circuit very well and we passed the whole day together ... it's already better than alone.






You see that georgous 360 CS in black ? That man was entering the circuit !!! ... what a lucky man






Cars for the Maserati Vodafone Race:




Inside of that car:











The Ange Barde Car:






While walking near paddocks, I saw the Enzo again ... Enjoy




























End of the Friday

Saturday I could not go because I worked and study for school.

Here is the sunday:

I leaved my home @ 8h30AM and arrived @ 10h15









Of course ... no luck for that man .. he got arrested by chickens ... just at 2 minutes from the circuit ... FFS they are really boring ...



a nice Dino GT





A view of the F1 Paddocks

Lovely 355 or 348 ? I don't remember

That girl was very nice...


Some 360 Challenge








Details on brakes


The Ange Barde Team again



The F1 of ... ?


mmmh




Maserati on the track


The nice safety car




Again the nice girl ... she was following us ... or maybe we were following her :p


That car passed in front of us at +- 250km/h


F40, 360CS, and more
















After eating we go back to the car to get some drinks...
Alpha GT



Then, when we came back in a hurry cause F1 were on the circuit ... it was doing a very very nice noise










Again some Ferraris and Maseratis













Big surprise, Friday I met someone who had a 360 CS, I speak a bit with him and he told me that Sunday there's maybe a huge change for me to get in his car ... and here I'm
Unfortunately, just before getting on the track, I had no more Memory Card on my camera, so I enjoyed without taking any picture, then when my brother went on the track in the same car, I gave him the camera and he filmed a whole track in the 360CS ... it worth it :p



The Enzo ... just for eye's candy












The F50





The back of the F40 and a tyre



Again some 360 Challenge


My brother and me


2 cool cars

Hehehe, we'd never had time to see the all , i would but lack of digi cam and lack of money prevents me at the moment, i might have to do a bit of extra work this summer and finally treat myself to a digicam

The Transporter,

those are really magnificent pics.
BTW the guy who asked you directions to the circuit was most probabely a Dutchie. As the Enzo had a dutch registration.
[nitpicking mode] The driver could even have been fined by the police as such plates are illegal for day to day motoring. These green registration plates are for dealers and workshops which sell cars. Roadtax and insurancepremium is payed for that registration number. But this number is not directly linked to one specifc car so the registrationplates can be used for any car during testdrives; so only for a spin without stops or visits to a circuit [/nitpicking mode]

[PATo355]

Very nice pics , btw there are no OLD Ferraris , just Classic ones

Will see them again later to choose some for my collection , gr8 work and the narration is truly exellent

[Mopsdrops]

Fuck ! fuck ! fuck ! i could'nt go, my dad would'nt drive. I just see what i missed. i'm pissed of right now. all those cars. grrrrrrr, i wanna commit suicide. :x :x :x :x but you've taken great pics transporter.

[lakatu]

Thanks for sharing. I'm sure it was a lot of work. I'm amazed when I think of it as to the large number of different models of cars Ferrari has been able to produce over the years verses for example Porsche.

[schnell318]

OMG!! Seems to me you had one of the nicest days of your life, it would be for me if I had been there



Here you can really see the sheer size of that air box!!! Thanks very much for the pics man

And you had a ride in the 360cs on the track :shock: man, you are a lucky bastard!!!

Thanks for the nice report, enjoyed it!!

Oh, and one of the pics that really stood out was the blue 355 in the beginning!! Looks stunning in blue.
