Last week we saw action shots of the Oldtimer’s Gran Prix by Henk Brouwer. This week take a tour through the pits, courtesy of Alessandro Gerelli.
The Oldtimer Grand Prix in Nurburgring is a formidable event for car enthusiasts, because in addition to the races involving oldtimer cars of different classes and age, there are also many other things to do like visiting the many owners club meetings, the flea and accessories markets and also, why not, the bars and restaurants.
Part of these events are outside the circuit in the huge parking places around the race track, the most relevant are on the contrary inside the ring.
Every year there are also the Ferrari, Maserati, Alfa Romeo and Porsche owners club meetings: it is incredible the number of cars coming from Germany and close countries for the two days event.
Therefore walking around the pits, you can have lots of interesting views of cars that are racing, cars on display for the public, cars that their lucky owners drive every day.
Enjoy with me !
