Bavaria City Racing

[Jimmie]

Bavaria City Racing, perhaps you've heard about it, on the other hand this being a Dutch event probably not
There's also an edition in Moscow and I believe London had something similar.

Anyway this is an event just to showcase Formula 1 and other racing stuff such as WRC, pre-war F1, Legend cars and of course lots of Drifters.


David Coulthard did the demonstration for Red Bull Racing and Fernando Alonso and Adam Khan did their demonstration for ING Renault.


This all took part on a 5,4 km 'track' in the center of Rotterdam (Google Maps link)

I of course decided to stand at the roundabout cause that's a good place for drift and do donuts
This event except for tribunes is just free to stand around, so a zillion of people come to this. I had to made sure I was early and came 3 hours before the event started where it was already starting to get busy, found myself a free spot at the fence in front which enabled me to have a good view for taking pictures


Anyway to be short, just wanting to share my selection of pictures with you guys

Uploaded a small vid with a few short samples I recorded



Sadly the battery from my camera gave up while David was donutting in front of me :'( so I had to switch the battery quickly for the next pass
Nonetheless it gives a good impression

KTM crossbow thingy. A couple take part in Dutch GT series which supported 24hr race, looked great but performance seemed dreadful. Fantastic new Maserati GT and Mustang in that series as well

Is there any difference compared to the normal 350Z?

KTM X-Bow indeed


They seem to handle pretty well though, but if I remember correctly (from 5th gear or somethin') the Ariel Atom is cheaper and performed slightly better.

Think the series you mentioned is the GT4 series I think. There's also a M3 GT4 in the vid linked below. Seems to be a pretty neat series to race in, though I don't see them mentioning the X-Bow between participating cars on the Dutch GT4 website.


For more viewing pleasure I found this good HD vid on YouTube

Think support race was Tango series plus "something" as xfire was there and it was indeed poop http://www.gt4cup.com/results.php?event=4&season=2009&session=Race%20Two%20Result The Tango series Mustang was the loudest thing there that weekend http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7aKdlsHKNk&feature=related   and the Maserati was the most attractive http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58NnJPi6138&feature=related
