Nice thread, Klassie. Wish I had time to attend. Maybe next year ...

Thanks! All pistonheads are welcome ofcourse!

We try to improve the event every year. Problem is that we don't want the event to get bigger. But more and more people want to visit and every year we have a growing number of teams driving the 'rally'. We have reached the limits of that: 90 equipes is about as much as we can fit on the meadow.See this photograph, taken from a Tiger Moth. The meadow is twice as big as you can see on the photo, but still, it's getting tight now

The last couple of years we had two of them flying over the tree tops. Very spectacular!
This year we would have had a Yak flying over, but that plane has to be on an airshow on the 2nd of September. Bummer

[Klassiekerrally]

There will be a few racingcars too!
Now where do we put all that???

[dinkel]

Racingcars? Tell me 'bout it.

[Klassiekerrally]

There will be a formula racing car, but I'm not completely sure which formula. Also a Alfa Romeo Giulia racer will probably be present. I helped to design the livery of that one



As for the rest: let the dyno-folks surprise you! I don't have any more info on this, except that they will fill a tent with the dimensions of 9 x 11 metres!

We really need a pro vid cam guy to record some . . .

[Klassiekerrally]

The guys from autoblog.nl are coming over with a cam IIRC...

[dinkel]

If Vincent is your contact I need to call him 'bout that. He has a good set of cams. I taped some Spa 6 hrs and the sound is pretty good.

Yep, I talked it over with him. Please give him a call...

BTW: have you seen what I've done to the website? I'm pretty proud of my achievements

[dinkel]

Ditching my text?

Some achievement!

Topwork Wim.

There's more to come!
But not now... My bed is calling me

[dinkel]

There it is: nuff space for about 100 cars

[Klassiekerrally]

Does look small though, doesn't it?
Those trees hide a lot: you can't see the swimming pool, the houses, the small river, etcetera...

But, but it's in the shadow

[dinkel]

Check my link Bodo, last year was mega-sunny.

[Klassiekerrally]

Pics above were made later in the evening when the sun was low.
Plenty of sun last year! Hope we have the same weather this year!

[Klassiekerrally]

OK, time for another update:
First: live music all afternoon!
Second: Wiesmann brings us a GT!
Third: the weather will be ok!

The guys from autoblog.nl (dutch nr. 1 car website) will come too and shoot some footage. You'll be able to see that on the day after!
