Title: ELMS Imola
Post by: Kristof on October 18, 2014, 04:07:30 pm

I'm finally back at the track to take pictures.  Buyed a completely new kit in the past 4 months, identical to what I had before except for the "big lens", which unfortunately didn't fit in the budget anymore (and probably won't come back soon). 

Final race of the ELMS this weekend in Estoril, pictures from the first practice session are online now at  http://on.fb.me/ZzqLyE (http://on.fb.me/ZzqLyE).

Never been here, but what a great track to walk around and take pics. 

Enjoy !

As usual great pics Kristof weather looks ok as well. Estoril is one of my favourite tracks you can get real close on the slow corners. There was a good Irish pub in nearby Cascais as well. Good to know your getting your kit together and havnt been put of by theiving scum.

Brolly dolly shots to make my sunday morning, thank's Kristoff. I liked your firework photo on arsebook . The last time i was at Estoril we stayed in a bnb on the coast and the lady called us into her living room to Watch over the bay. When the clocks change to winter time they have a huge fireworks display. It was great all the car alarms went of and dogs barking for ages!

Think I'm a week too early for the winter time.  Heading for Cabo de roca tomorrow before I get to the airport. Most western point of the continent apparently.

Hi Kristof,
              More excellent pictures. Thanks. I like the one in RED  ;D Nice action shot of the pit crew. I see in the background that the "tribune" is populated with friends and family of the teams  ;D

Actually there was a good crowd last weekend.  All paddock tickets sold out, autograph session was very crowded and the main grandstand was almost full.  One of the best crowds I've seen at ALMS.  Apparently motorsport really lives in Portugal.  The free entry and only 5 euro's for the paddock will have helped, but you can see there's more and more interest in the ELMS.
