I’ve spent 3 days at Spa Francorchamps enjoying some fabulous historic racing. A very wide range of classic cars were racing, everything from a Mini Cooper to a more recent McLaren F1 GTR longtail. This is my favourite event of the year, historic racing is so much more fun to watch then modern racing. The way these classic cars slide through the corners is a real joy to see. The weather was perfect with sun all weekend long, that must have helped to bring some more spectators to this event. While last year most of the grandstands were near empty this year a decent crowd turned up. And for good reason A small selection of the photos I made can be seen in 3 galleries:

First time I visited this fair in Essen, Germany. Techno Classica must be one of the biggest events in its kind in Europe. I’ve never seen such an interesting collection of cars in one place. Definitely the best fair I’ve ever visited, i’ll go back next year My favorite car was the beautiful Ferrari 250GTO. I also saw a Lamborghini Countach LP400 for the first time, the most exciting “wedge” car from the early seventies. Looks much cleaner then the later cars with the big spoilers and side skirts.
