Cool Pics + Story: von Braun Sports cars "Track, Sea & Party"

In a few words and pictures I'm trying to summarise this long weekend.

Rudskogen, Norway. This race track is owned by Schumacher.
Ferrari F430, Ferrari F50, Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera and Gallardo Spider and a few other cars...


Ruf R Turbo 550 (997), Porsche Carrera GT and Koenigsegg CCR



They key to the Koenigsegg CCXR
in my hand. It's in silver...



Party! Torbjörn von Braun jumps around! The Gallardo Spider is checked in the Lobby at SAS Radisson Fredrikstad, drive-in!



BULLRIDE on the National Day 17:th May in Norway! Lamborghini Murciélago LP 640



Mr. Jim, we can call him that, with his “really large driver's licens, as usual in the future”.


Hydrolift S-24R Carbon passes us at approx. 65 knots. Made out of carbon fibre.

However I was in an even faster boat... Video to come.



A BIG thank you to von Braun Sportscars http://www.vonbraun.se for this wonderful event!

Street Xtreme Nr 8 (Sweden) will have more of my pics! http://www.streetxtreme.se/

Video from the faster boat, a Fountain 29 with twin V8.

We did about 70 knots. This wasn't prepared at all so sorry if the quality is not 100%, I like the last 1/4 of the video better.

So this event was near Fredrikstad?? I lived there last fall, guess I should have stayed!!
Just a worthless FYI, the line to the bathrooms at the pub/club at SAS Radisson on weekend nights is the longest I've ever experienced.... nice hotel though!

Also did not know the Rturbo package was available on the 997? Thought it was 996 only.

Yes, it was in Rudskogen Racetrack, SAS Radisson Fredrikstad and at one Marina. The line to the toilet is no problem if you live in the hotel


For the 997TT Ruf has 510, 550, 600 and 650 hp.
