    Nearly 70 Ferraris got together around the nation's capital last week for the 34th National Ferrari Rally and to celebrate the 60th Anniversary - I took over 15gb of pics and vids so will update over the next week or so.

    First (pre)leg of the Ferrari Rally was us just getting there, 1300km in 2 days in Ferraris.

    All the pics etc here:

    Here's a couple... There are gazillions more to come... :)

    Fabulous machine, just sit back and soak up the pure nostalgia of true classic Italian motoring at it's finest - especially on the roads we went on! Bottomed out and slightly airborne at 100mph at one stage... :p Will never forget those few hours. (partly because I probably have skin cancer now :\ )

    As for value... Ask IanB... he even asked me to drive it!!!! :)

    Awesome shots!

    How do you get this rich color and contrast? Are you using filters or enhance the shots afterwards?

    Love the Kangoroo.

    Thanks. Sometimes I fiddle a little with the contrast and stuff, but mostly the shots are as they come. I use a $15 polarising filter. :cool:

    And here's a video of the Ferrari Relay.

    ---> http://aussieexotics.com/videos/ferrari-relay-national-rally-wakefield-park-17603


    It's like a normal relay race with a baton and rivalry amongst the states, except the driver's in the team have to take a Ferrari cap for a lap around the track, stop within a specified zone, jump out of the car and run to pit lane where the next car is waiting to take off and hand them the cap.

    It's also supposed to be run with a V6, a V8, and a V12 in the relay - though this year most states didn't have each type of car at the track so some concessions were made.

    This vid is the ACT entry. (Australian Capital Territory)

    Don't spose you ended up driving it? Either way, pretty lucky to go for a ride in one!
