Spa6 2010

Esper and Mark in the Big Healey:


Esper screaming the straight six through La Source.


Lovely sliding action, comes standard on a Big H. Esper adds a bit more drama to his driving stylee . . . which I like!


Slow shutter antics: 1/50 secs.

Spa6 2010 was wet, very wet.


The amount of Yank saloons present at Spa are increasing. They seem reliable, relatively simple and cheap, go quick (289 V8s pump out 400 brake plus) and look cool. Nice spacious office looks a plus to me.


Wet and slippery.


Gorgeous Porsche lurking.


Funny wheel arches on this Cobra . . . but then: it is chassis CSX 2142, one of the most important Cobras ever to make its way onto a racetrack. It was one of two AC Cobra Roadsters to be entered by the factory at the 1963 Le Mans race. Ding dong!

XK was here!

Christopher Stahls old Corvette:

Cool Hart / Hall / Pastorelli C2 Roadster: big block heaven and in my dream garage. Quick 2:55s laps and came in 7th.


My favourite Pork weapon came in 31st. Always good for a nice 'in my face' shot.


I did not found this Bizarinni Strada on the list . . . is it me?


Italian uber-yum. Not as quick and hefty on the soundbyte as Rogers car.


Superb 4th for this DB4GT. Is that a wheel coming off? Dent . . .

Gorgeous Young DB4 came in 30th.


Eat that, Mr Bond!


Wooden frame, solid iron Volvo 1.8: 15th for this rainmaster. Amazingly driven car and a big bow to the team.


69th was a bit dissapointing for Marc Devis and the ducttaped Cobra. Fridaynights hard work to get the car ready for the 6 Hrs.


And we have a winner! Solid 2:55 laptimes for this E-type. Second best Clark E did 2:57s.

Dinks that is just PRON!
Stunning camera work there (again)

Thanx Ken. I just stuck my shutter at 1/60 - 1/160s and snapped through the field.

I'm off to Portimao friday - monday: expect more porn

Please make post production finance easier for the talented GT Racer team: pledge a bit and get that DVD. You know you want one . . . or two (perfect gift!).


Excellent 2nd for the Voyazides / Hadfield GT40, who set the quickest laptime at 2:49 secs.


Mean machine and bound to win. But there was a big E-type in the way . . .

I hate it when that happens.
There you are play around on a the track and one of those E-Types goes and gets in your way.

[dinkel]

Yeah, how odd is that . . .

Interesting, are you working with the GT Racer production team, or just going along to watch the race?

Afraid I cant afford to make a donation, all my disposable is going into my own fledgling racer project at the moment.

Dinks - this is the same GT racer where (the US race in particular) they did not actually race - bunch of old ponces, nouncing about scared of putting the slightest scratch on there shiney cars.

A hilarious series IMHO.
