Back to Ardennes for KR Motorsports event. This time a weekend event, this time not even that rainy. Plenty of interesting cars on the 7 kilometers long track including Porsche that participated in Le Mans back in 70s.

After visiting UK for the first time couple of years ago for the Gary Numan gig in Birmingham, we went with Kai to London for my first visit of the city. Seeing all the important spots like Buckingham Palace, Tower of London, Downing Street or Greenwich, it was a fun little trip.

After returning back to the Czech republic, I’ve visited a classic car workshop for a little shoot. That was in preparation for some upcoming photoshoots that will be mentioned further down in this article.

Annual event of AP Corse in Brno took place in June. A little testing and VIP clients event at Masaryk Circuit included some Italian supercars like Ferrari and Lamborghini and also the Czech manufacturer Praga.

The biggest US cars meeting takes place in Pasohlávky at Camp Merkur. More than a thousand cars attends the yearly week long event which culminates on weekend.

One more June event – again in Brno. KR Motorsports returned to Brno with one special car. Christian brought his brand new Ligier JS PX which starred in the Gran Turismo movie. Next to that there were some regular attendees in form of Porsches, Lamborghinis and more.

One of the photoshoots that year was with the 1960’s Ferrari 400 Superamerica. Car with a 4-litre V12 was one of the most beautiful cars Pininfarina designed back then. Only 47 units were built in two series, 32 of them were coupé aerodynamico variant.

Another photoshoot, this time with a classic Ferrari 250 GT Spider. This gorgeous cabriolet would be a perfect drive around Côte d’Azur…

In August, the Testarossa from workshop was finally ready for a photoshoot so here it is. One of the most popular 80s cars found its way behind my lens.

After the photoshoot, I went back to the workshop to get some more photos there.

Second event of the year with KR Motorsports, this time at the Austrian circuit near Spielberg. Packed paddock with new GT cars but also some classics including 365 GTB/4 Competizione.

Autumn in Brno has a tradition of a GT racing and for last years it’s been under the Masaryk Racing Days moniker. It’s rare to see a Zonda anywhere on the road, let alone on a track. There’s one Czech team run by Antonín Herbeck who’s racing with his team Rock Robots and Pagani Zonda GR.

As part of their program, Czech M Club often visits Brno circuit and their Polygon track. I was invited to take some photos for them. Different brands are invited to participate too so you can find cars like Corvette, Subaru or even Tesla there.

The last photoshoot of the year took place in the South Moravia region and the main star was the legendary Ferrari 288 GTO. The first of the hypercars series with the turbo V8 is now one of the most coveted Ferraris.

Sunny September day was a great time to host a track day full of vintage cars. That included cars like BMW M1, Lamborghini Countach or Ferrari 365 GT 2+2 Queen Mary… I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Last shoot of the year was in December, back to Polygon with the Czech M Club.
