This weekend! Perhaps you remember our wonderful 2015 report or the publication in BMW Car. It is promising to be great fun again, THIS weekend. One of the themes for this year is Jägermeister in racing which already will be fun. Some big names announced already, Hans-Joachim Stück, Jochen Mass, Klaus Ludwig, Derek Bell and rally legend Walter Röhrl is likely to do a demo in the Audi Quattro S1 on the Rundstrecke. More names? Ellen Lohr, Leopold Prinz von Bayern, Frank Biela, John Fitzpatrick. We'll be there on Saturday!

I'm very jealous of all these great events you guys get to go to in Europe

Keep the pics and reports coming, always good to see

Ben

Note to self, must try and get to the OGP next year and LMC the year after.

Well, Ben, might I propose a Benxit, just come over and live in Europe, The Netherlands or Germany...

A sneak preview. we had a great time and some lovely material coming up!

Oh man, the more I look, the more I want a e9. Once I will own one. But a good one is getting really expensive...

So for now I have to do with beautiful pics like this one, Jeroen! Thanks.

I've had many cars, but if there's one I sometimes miss its the funny lightweight Talbot Samba Group B car. 1.3 litre, dual twin Webers, 135 BHP using modest (as in road drivable) settings. With just over 600 kilos that was enough to beat the hell out of the average Porsche 930!





A little special. The 1905 Fiat equipped with Isotta Fraschini arplane engine. 16.5 litres 6 inline, 250 BHP, capable of well over 200 km/h, back in 1905! Translated to modern day standards that must have felt like a million miles! And even though most parts were meant to end up in an engine bay, every single piece is a combination of true art and engineering. What a machine!















I'm no 02 buff but I never saw this before!



What a view!





I'm no expert but the Alfa Romeo 1900 was a brilliant restore, real amazing work





328 based Veritas up front



Dixi based 600



Glas 1300GT from just before the BMW takeover



Action! Hans-Joachim Stück getting ready for some track action







Sadly the Hahne DTM E30 M3 didn't survive lap 1



Leopold Prinz von Bayern in the E9 CSL





Also motorcycle action on the Rundstrecke







Time for a little round of all the fields



Huge Z1 club meet



Alpina club with 2 amazing E28 B7 turbo's







Monoposto time!







BMW boxer powered Cooper



More track action



Audi demo with -imho- the only decent car to ever come from Ingolstadt, the ur-Quattro, with Walter Röhrl back behind the wheel!



Frank Biela in the R8 Le Mans winner right behind him but I gave it some evening effects



Some more rally demo's







Last but not least... ran into an E21 Group 5 racer we hadn't seen before. Could be it has another livery before, could be a new build or fresh restore with some mods but it looked very very convincing and clearly was different to the Jägermeister cars we know from Franz Ostermaier and BMW Classic. Enjoy!















Til next year!

Very nice set of pics, Jeroen!

Thanks! Glad I can share something right after the event instead of keeping the pics reserved for publication. Which reminds me I have some previous events that I can now share some lovely material from as well. Soon, I hope

It was a truly fun and amazing day Jeroen, and I was happy to have visited this beautiful and lovely event with you.

Greetz,
Walter.
