Dirk some great shots you got there from the backend of the Enzo, did you got behind the fenches ??
I got a shot of the Enzo from behind aswell, but it was taken by a salesmen.
In total I got like 170 photo's which included roughly 100 shot's of the Ferrari's on the Rai.
All taken in 2 days :-), to bad it was so crowded when I got there.

This is the one I got on my background of windows (taken the last saturday):
Upload

Btw, sorry to highjack the tread, just keep on going on about the Spa Ferrari days, I hope I can be there but I probably got a hangover since it's my birthday, 25th :-)

Andrew,

As far as I know the historic challenge races have been canceled as well!
There should be quite a lot of historical Ferraris and Maseratis though since it's now a Ferrari track day. Access to watch the cars on track is totally free. About the paddock I don't know but most probably it should be possible to go there as well as a spectator. Will be there on sunday with some other members of FChat (Ton and Bart) so if you should have problems to get inside of the paddock area we could take you in (Just in case!)




Con saluti cordialissimi,
Jens Haller

Im planning to go for the SPA Ferrari days, and have a few questions . Will the historical challenge still take place ? Or will this be more like a normal track open day ?
Do we get access to the paddock or do we need a press pass/ferrari invitation ?

thanks , hope to see some of you there !

Ton, how's everything going with the 348 ?
I heared from my boss at the kart track that there are around 15 348 for sale in the Netherlands only. 10 active ones and 5 slumbering ones. If you want I could ask him if he could tell which ones he means, or are you having specific things you want which didn't made you succeed over here ? Or are you already succeeding with the one in germany ?

Sorry to highjack the topic, but I didn't want to open a new topic for this question.

Guy,

I agree with Bart! Definitely no F-car needed for the mountains (Belgian mountains?). Bring the S2000 and give her a good spin.
Concerning the 328 (GTS!) I am very close to buying one. I currently have an option on a car in Germany and will visit them on the 18th of February. I will keep you updated!

Guy,

For the mountains no F required only a car with 9000 rpm redzone :-)

Hey Ton,

Haven't you found a 328 yet?
What model are you looking for? Or doesn't that matter? GTS, GTB, early model or practical new?

I hope for you you'll find one soon, so you can come with a F-car to Spa!

I still don't know if i can come for the whole weekend! Plus for that drive through the belgian mountains i guess you also have to drive a ferrari or not?

CIAO..

Bart, Jens, et all,

This means that we could still get together on sunday the 27th for some nice laps on the circuit.
Maybe even get together on saturdayevening in the hotel that Bart proposed for a beer and/or dinner?

Other thoughts?
