Spa Italia 2008

The by now already traditional event "Spa Italia" brought again some "dolce Vita" to the Belgian rollercoaster course. Despite the drizzly weather conditions, some hundred Italian cars showed off in and around the paddock on Saturday.
In a special show themed "a tribute to Lamborghini" were several rare treasuries of Enzo's biggest rival in business on display. Beside a fighter jet-like Lamborghini Pregunta by customer order were several different cars - all named after famous Spanish fighting bulls - to be seen.

Spa Italia doesn't attract spectators with different race series, but in fact with the possibility for every owner of an Italian car to explore the famous race track himself.
In different categories you can introduce your car to the spectators, selectively in the big bunch at low speed or for a little extra amount of money in the more racy class. But this class includes a bigger risk to crash with others, because there are some participators with less driving experience on this challenging race track than they thought they would have.
The Saturday's afternoon offered the best chance to race, because the track dried after the rainy morning at aroung 4pm. And at this time, there were only a few cars on the track.

On Sunday morning the sun called up many lovers of Italian cars to leave the bed early. Already at 9am roaring engines burst the calmness of the Belgin Wallonie.
The little amount of 25 Ferrari that showed off on Saturday was already topped by around hundred polished sportscars wih the prancing horse on this morning. A downright cloud of people relocated Ferrari's actual most uncompromisingly creation: the Ferrari 430 Scuderia. In sagely foresight the owner parked his 510 in aluminum and carbon bordered horses with a big distance to the next cars.
But not only the paddock offered the possibility for the fans to be close to the cars of their dreams. One point of the schedule named "First run in Ferrari" is always awaited eagerly by those, who ever wanted to be raced around a track as a co-driver in a Ferrari. You got the choice between a real Ferrari sporscar or the race cars built by "Scuderia Maranello" with a Ferrari engine.

Spa Italia is fun, first and foremost if you own an Italian Car yourself and race it around this wonderful rollercoaster course, which was not only Michael Schumacher's favorite.
