Zolder FIA GT this weekend

[vetteheadracer]

Some of us Corvette boys are heading over to Zolder this weekend for the FIA GT series climax....anyone else going?

[Broady88]

We'll be there. Looks like a great weekend & if you believe weather.co.uk is threatening to stay dry! - There again it is in Belgium!!

Sorry this doesn't compute......Belgium and dry in the same sentence......

Good day out, (Sunday only). Our first time at a GT round - good racing, a true motor sport feast and oh so cheap to get in and spectate.

Other pics from the weekend

Those are some very, very good shots there.

Did you happen to get any of either of the blue/white Peugeot 407 Silhouettes (numbers 6 and 11) in the BTCS races? Not the most handsome cars out there, I grant you, but I engineer them and am growing strangely fond of the ugly buggers.

I will have a look...didn't take many pics of the BTCS stuff...so don't hold your breath!

Great pictures. Looks like we were standing next to each other:



I have some BTCS pictures as well, will see if I have some pics of the Peugeots.

[vetteheadracer]

Yep, how weird is that!

My pic was taken approaching the 2nd chicane, looks like yours was too.

Nice pic, I got quite a few of the #28 Lambo with glowing brake discs.



the next shot in the series of the vette overtaking the lambo....


No pics of the pug I'm afraid

Has anyone got any pics of the Gigawave Aston DBR9? or the team? Their first FIA GT Race.

[Sjo]

I have a pic of the Peugeot:



Will now look for a Gigawave DBR9 picture in my collection.

[Ahonen]

Thanks Sjo!

They're ugly little buggers, our silhouettes, but we love them.

Also found some pics of the Gigawave Aston:

I missed this thread, don't normally look in here.

I was there, my camera position was...erm...hang on - here:

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&ge...

Right in the middle of that page, top right corner of the circuit. Don't know the name of the corner.

Each day several times a ing beautiful convoy of Vettes drove up and down Kerkstraat to the North of the track. Some of them were achingly beautiful. If that were you lot, sorry I didn't say hello (and blagged a ride)!

Yep, it just rolls of the tongue,...

...or, in my case, off wide into the gravel on the outside!
