This summer I have been to two car events, one in Spain and one home in Norway. The first one was during my holiday down there at Costa Blanca, the Spanish GT Championship at the Albacete raceway.

As always it was really difficult to get pictures of the cars out on the track, it was much easier to get them when they came into the pits. The contenders were; Ferrari F430 Challenge and 430 GT2, Porsche 996/997 GT3 RSR and 997 GT3 Cup, Mosler MT900, Sun Red and Ginetta G50.

The second event I was at was the Gatebil Festival at Rudskogen Raceway 30 minutes away from where I live. This year the weather was slightly shit, starting with rain, but fortunately the sun came out and it dried up quickly, so lots of smoky stuff...

Team Schuberth Motorsport from the VLN-series with the Norwegian driver Stian S?rlie was there and participating in the Racing extreme series, predictably they won, despite the fact that they were up against lighter cars with a lot more than twice the amount of power.

A guy called Flemming Alm in a tuned Audi S2 Coupe, it was a really cool awd power drift, not quite on par with Stian Hafsengen's slides with the WRC Escort, but really up there I must say...

Stian sold the Escort after fixing it up again after the crash right? Or did he not compete for some other reason.

Well the full story is that he bought it as a wreck. Then he built it to the spec it had in 2004 and 2005, it was wrecked again in 2005, but was rebuilt and back in action during 2006. In 2006 it was bought without engine and drivetrain by Leif Nilsen, the boss of the Gatebil events. He had it repainted silver gray and installed it with the engine and drivetrain from his rallycross Escort, all expensive Quaife stuff with a 926 hp RS500 engine. This is how it is today...

2004-2005 Before rebuild:

Jeg hadde ikke med meg noen bil til ? kj?re p? bane med, jeg er stort sett bare tilskuer. Det koster 50 kr i parkering og 200 kr i inngang. N? skal det sies ogs? da, at jeg bor bare omtrent en halvtimes kj?ring unna Rudskogen, s? treffene p? V?lerbanen drar jeg ikke p?.
