What does AUD$8.5 million worth of cars look like?

Spa Francorchamps...
 The name of one of the worlds most famous racetracks, a place steeped in motor racing history since the 1920's and the track with Eau Rouge, the most famous corner in all motorsport.


We found ourselves at Spa Francorchamps, the home of the Belgian Grand Prix on a bitterly cold, wet November day and enjoyed a guided tour of the facilities there. 


The sound of the rain and wind was interupted by the howl of a high performance engine rounding La Source.  What was it, a supercar for sure...  A blue flash through the wet with rooster tails behind, now all was revealed, the source of that glorious engine note was an Audi R8 V10 at high rpm, the way it hunkered down and stuck to the apex on Eau Rouge was a sight to behold.


A little more investigation revealed that there were lots of Audi R8's, blue ones, red ones and white ones, all V10's!  There were 23 of them at what must have been a corporate drive day.  Lucky buggers!  With each car costing in excess of $366, 000, the carpark below is not your average collction of cars you see at the supermarket!

That's a lot of cars indeed. I wish I had that much cars parked in my garage.
