The Ardennen Rennen– subtitled The Gentleman Racer Reunion– is a new rally event held in the renowned Ardennes region of Spa, Belgium.

I’ve been entailed with air-cooled cars for over ten years currently, as well as in that time have participated in all the large themed occasions around Europe. So when I obtained a welcome to photograph Ardennen Rennen– an event focussed on driving as well as appreciating uncommon ‘old speed’ (AKA duration correctly tuned) air-cooled autos, I was hyped to say the least.

The coordinators of the Ardennen Rennen are not just air-cooled Volkswagen and Porsches followers, they live and breathe them. Frederic(Freddy)as well as Mike are outright legends in the European air-cooled scene as well as are very well recognized for their various other occasions– the European Bug-In, Freddy’s Revival Files and also the Das Drag Day. These are all widely prominent, weekend-long get-togethers, focused on air-cooled autos and also classic drag racing. As you ‘d expect, both Freddy as well as Mike have each obtained a variety of intriguing air-cooled lorries over

the years, and also driving their’old speed’vehicles with the Belgian Ardennes area around the well-known Spa-Francorchamps circuit inspired them to organize this event. The Ardennen Rennen pays tribute to the roadway rallies of the past, as well as for the very first occasion charted a course from Liège to Bastogne and also back again over the

training course of a full day’s driving. Rivals fulfilled on Saturday mid-day at R-Hotel in Aywaille, and set off first thing Sunday morning.

It’s not just About vehicles. The event commemorated the whole vibe of 1960s’gentleman racers’, so vehicles plus duration apparel and even old-fashioned navigating. This very first running of the Ardennen Rennen was attended as well as enjoyed by 16 teams (vehicle driver as well as co-driver). Equipped with classic stopwatches and also tripmeters, they covered around 200kms of incredible roadways, albeit primarily in damp problems.< img course =”alignnone
