Spa6 2009: various snaps

[dinkel]

On with the show:


Bizza 327 on Webers.


Cobra in wide-angle.


These huge Yanks look heavy . . .


. . . but weigh as much as a 2010 Ford Fiesta.


Most cars take the wider arc, as not this hack . . .


. . . and La Source bites back with no mercy.

[dinkel]

Maybe update your Flashplayer?


These huge Yanks were notorious for dramatic LS rounding . . .


. . . oops, there we go again!


Nice Mustang Notchback touching the concrete. Exactly the way I like it.


Loving the orange on this car.


Dutch 350GT Shelby.


Camaroooh!
More . . .

About that brave A40:


Funny to see that completely stripped on the inside.


Pretty cool actually, that's Peter Malletts Capri.


As we're on tiny for a theme: Roger Wills Mini.


Not sure on this one but it looks about 1000 cc!


Could be mums office eh?

A40 in anger!





Mini in anger!






More small car.

[dinkel]

Mini warm helmet moment.




Those little bastits turn in mega quick and stamp on it directly after braking - so when they start turning in! - to haul this FWD stunner through the 'hairpin'.


Last one of Richard Postins' A40 then.


This Mog is so gorgeous! As featured in GT Racer btw.

[dinkel]

He apparantly forgot to LFB when at full throttle!

[dinkel]

Doesn't it ever stop?


Heaven B16.


Alfa yum.


A little destraction from Terry's pit.


Junior Bertone roaring by.


David harts nice Hietbrink recreation 275.


Awesome details on the cars, like this massive brake.

More to come.

[dinkel]

They catch fire. Lovely sight at nighttime racing.

[dinkel]

Little Lotus cars do rock 'n roll around Spa. Quicker than you think and amazing through the bends.


There's a favourite . . .


. . . although much to my surprise the little Elans seem to be a tad quicker.


7.


Lancia Fulvia.


Marcos with the 1.8 Volvo in.

More . . .

Wowzers Jon, good work old chap.

Makes you think the Ford GTs as seen can indeed rev 7K plus with the ally heads. The Roadster must be an older car me thinks: goes like the clappers just the same. We must tour du paddock this year and check stuff out Jon. Are you coming again?

[dinkel]

Cheers. Pull a few more PHers maybe?

I'll bring two mates. Hope Wim will be with us to join in.

I've heard pretty good stories from quite a few drivers: should be fun as ever.

[dinkel]

LOL!

[dinkel]

Piper low rider.


Gorgeous big H.


A tatty little TR.


That Belgium Montreal near the Welch hide out.


The Ziegler D.

[dinkel]

He would probably be run over by the complete F1 paddock

[dinkel]

In good company.


At speed.


Roadhandling looked way better compared to 2008 Spa.

[dinkel]

Driver pointing out engine stuff during practise sessions.


Classic Alfa is quite popular in Holland. Lavender 1750 GTV for me please!


This must be a Turner or something. Love those tiny racers.


Big Healey in practise.


Awesome Sprite screaming along.

About 70 snaps left, most are so-so. Which is good because DSR is coming up and I'll be at Zandvoort mid May: and I'll be taking the cam. Anyone coming to see a few nice classics to be hauled around on the famous dunes track?

[dinkel]

Everyones fav I guess, as are these:


Shrieeeek!


Shrieeeek!


Oh baby, come to daddy.


Yank rumble.


Four-Two-Seven thunder. Al Gores fav car.


Another Lotus, a tad bigger than the Elan. Golden wheels loook splendid in da sun!


Another Yank rumble.

[dinkel]

Big Healey in the right colour.


Would make a great daily driver!


Bertone Junior in the right angle.


Mike Bell in full swing.


The Mallett machine with I think Terry at the helm.

42 to go

[dinkel]

"Oh, it's lonely at the top."


Olli Bryant catching a Mustang on the inside.


Mike Bell going steady.


As does Peter Mallet, passing Tony Davis in the Sprite Sebring.
