Oldtimer Grand Prix Nurburgring: August 8-10, 2014

A few pics from this year's party to start with...

Cecotto doing some brilliant driving in the wet



My favorite in the Historic F1 grid, 1981 Alfa Romeo 179B ex Bruno Giacomelli. Not with a Ford DFV V8 like all the others, but with its original Alfa Romeo V12, respect!



Nice hommage to Michael Schumacher by Pierre Schroeder in the ex-Schumacher Benetton B194



Veillard has no issues using child labor to get his E21 Group 5 racer ready





Marc Hessel in the McLaren F1 GTR (ex Steve Soper / Nelson Piquet / JJ Lehto)



Last one for now, Franz Ostermaier in his Group 5 E21

The cecotto e30 Fina M3

I am building a custom slot car out of an ordinary m3 .. widening fenders etc .. the car will get this livery

[Jeroen]

Some additional photos, delivering them to you in small doses this time

Our personal transportation, with upgrades by BMW Classic haha!



A little bit more historic F1, with this Brabham BT42 in a great livery



Alfa V12 mentioned before, in this case with the ex Nigel Mansell Lotus 91/5 literally flying past at the end of the straight



Zakspeed Ford Capri always looks spectacular and even more so on a slightly humid track



Need to finish each post with BMW pics I guess, how about an edited pic of the 328 CoTuRa, only two built in 1949 by Rotterdam based Coos van der Tuyn Racing





And finally Charles Veillard in action in the E21 Group 5 racer



At the BMW Classic stand we found this lovely E21 Alpina B6 2.8 and its owner. Car has some added grunt with B9 3.5 power plant but still looks like it should under the bonnet









More later!

Hi Jeroen

Is e21 Aplina a factory colour and if so, what colour is it.

Regards

[Jeroen]

Yup, pretty sure it's original E21 called Ascot grey, also see http://www.bmwe21.net/?page_id=106

Finally made a selection of the rest of the BMW photos from this fab event! Tried to put at least a bit of order/sequence in them...
