Fantastic, Van De Walle.  That was great and exciting.  Really a beautiful C3 and he showed what it could do in the race.

Yeah, that spin out was great!
I assume that was in Belgium.
What is the name of the race course?
What kind of a race was it?

No dwright , it was in your back-garden !!!  It was the VARAC Vintage Festival at Mosport Intl. Raceway. ( www.mosport.com) i think 2003 ?

I find it looking at sites of BMW M1 cars.( at the time i was looking for a old-timer , sorry, )

But for the noise alone i bought a vette !  and , oke, a little bit for the price.....

Very COOL.
We have an opportunity on Sunday, April 30th, to run our Corvettes on the Walkins Glen road course here in NY.
Gives you a little feeling of racing without the risk of damaging your ride.
You can also take a ride with a professional race driver in a pace car.
Anybody interested?

We in Belgium have the Nurburgring nearby. ( for me about 200 miles ).There's a great circuit of 14 miles long ! it's open for public at 12 $ a tour .

after winter here me and my son are going to try it out with the vette and his BMW.Already in '51 Fangio had the record of under the 10 min. and latest F1 races ( Jody Scheckter in 1976 ) did it in 7 min and some sec's......Now there's a new F1 circuit of about 3 miles.

We surely make a film ! it will be fun.

see you !

WOW - that Bimmer is quick...!!!  Was surprised how little time it took to start lapping cars.  Seemed like he was just toying with the other folks.  Looks like FUN anyway...!!! 

Glad I peeked at this at work - would have been painful on the dialup at home.

Vette(s): 1975 C3 Red, T-Tops, Black Interior. All I need is time and money! Getting there!

Van, that is a film I would love to see.  If you manage to get it made, by all means we want to see it.

I would love to have the chance to drive that circuit in my car, once I get it done.   Very cool!
