Went to this event on the weekend just been and it was REALY AMAZING. so i thought id post some pics and stuff. It was a birthday presant for Hans Hermann from solitude racing.

They invite a multitude of old race cars and bikes from the 40's right thru to now days. everything frm the first silver arrow 300sl's old F1 cars Le Mans cars rite down to Arbath 1000 (and A110's). were all on show alsongside a bunch of old and new bikes. it was amzing to c all these cars in real life.

then we found out that they re opend a 3 km part of an old race track just out side of Stuttgart (in Germany). Where the cars were on show and they were all going to be doing sprints all day. most of the cars hadnt been run scince they stoped racing (so we read) and that whn it got real exiting.

luckely we were there early to get a good spot and i got a bunch of footage. It was amazing for me to c the old 917's and other Porsche race cars that ive dreamd of seeing in real life actually going (and going hard!). Altho it was clear some hadint been run for many years  :P

Another suprise was that a bunch of the old drivers that origonaly drove the cars were gona be there to drive there old cars!! including Hans Herrmann, Richard Attwood, David Piper, Paul Ernst Strahle and Stirling Moss (and many more) all i named i got signitures frm!!! exept Stirling Moss ( >:() as he only showed at the event on sunday (we went on saturday and had a date with DTM in Norisring on sunday)

but all in all it was an amazing event and somehow made me like clasical cars (especially old Porsche racing cars) EVEN MORE!! :D

im in the proces of making a compilation vid. and i will youtube it whn im done and link it to this post but ill just put some pics up for now.
