Den Internationale Racing Festival 2010
14 Apr 2010
Den Internationale Racing Festival 2010 offered many exciting supercars worth many millions of kroner!!
On the Carlsberg grounds in Valby, a racetrack has been built among the old brewhouses and bottling halls. This is where Den Internationale Racing Festival 2010 will be held.
The event's purpose is to raise money for the Danish Red Cross, by offering rides in car categories at different prices.
Thorkild Thyrring has gathered a team of professional drivers from home and abroad, plus fast supercars from world famous car makers, to give paying customers a co-driver experience at Den Internationale Racing Festival 2010. With a camera I'll try to capture moments from different spots on the track.
An Aston Martin turns hard into the corner and thunders past with a lovely growl. Later, at another spot on the track, it turns 180 degrees, a quick squeeze of the right foot sends the Aston lurching off.
An Aquila CR1 comes down the track with good speed to make a controlled left turn. It looks fantastic, this low, wide sports machine.
If you're on the footbridge over the track, it looks even better. A Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport, 1001 hp, speed: 0-100 km/h reached in 2.5 sec. A quick glimpse and it's gone. It looks cool when it just lifts the rear wing for extra braking effect.
The sound of a Corvette can be heard, it approaches a U-turn, brakes and steers into a sliding precision drift through the corner. The rear end goes right out to the concrete wall. It accelerates on with a lovely V8 sound.
The gorgeous Nissan Skyline GTR with 900 hp on tap sounds like the angels singing when it gets some pedal.
Further up the track you can hear the Italian Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano with the HGTE package unfold. Little brother Ferrari California is not scared off and does its part to make it a fantastic experience for the passenger.
Historic Ford GT40s drive a few laps.
The Mercedes AMG 63 gets to show off what it can do both forward and a bit sideways. A gullwing AMG SLS with its snarling/growling super sound rushes past, only to brake and turn right a little further along.
In the distance you can hear the powerful sound of Lars Kragh's Porsche GT3, which gets people cheering every time it passes.
A Tiger Aviator 209, an open Super Seven-inspired lightweight racer, blasts off.
A little later, the lightning fast Ariel Atom comes by.
