Oldtimer – PHOTOS OF HUMAN PERSPECTIVES https://www.jonnyallegra.de Photographer - Jonny Allegra Thu, 26 May 2022 16:59:38 +0000 en-GB hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.4 Ried Ring Rivival https://www.jonnyallegra.de/en/motorsport-1-2/ Sun, 26 Nov 2017 09:26:05 +0000 https://www.jonnyallegra.de/?p=2929 Already 65 years ago, the Ried-Ring motorbike race thrilled up to 30,000 cheering spectators along the city circuit in Lorsch. Between 1949 and 1955, spectacular competitions took place on the 3.12 kilometre track that kept motor sport enthusiasts fascinated and gave many famous racing driver a stage.

The ambition for the relaunched Racing-Ring-Rival Festival was thus great and exceeded the expectations. On the way in the paddock, I could feel the enthusiasm for this unique atmosphere of oily engines and shiny sheet metal and steel. The chrome surfaces of the antique race bikes gleaming in the sun became the ultimate challenge to the capabilities of my lens. The inner circle of the racing circus became a living museum. No matter which way you looked, you saw these fascinating antique constructions, not just standing around inanimate, but rattling and rumbling, giving the scenery an amazing liveliness. Till now, brands like DKW, NSU, Puch, Triumph or Norton, I had previously seen them in old books and websites. Here they came alive and showed what enormous power and speed they were already equipped at that time. At the end of the day, the memory card was full of impressions that I couldn’t get anywhere else.

Actually, there’s nothing more to say. Anyone who loves the ancient sound of engines, the smell of oil and burning brake pads is in the right place. In addition, there is the inimitable charm of motorsport nostalgia, whether on the race track or in the paddock. Fascinated by the inimitable design of the old days, a walk through the Motodrom becomes a promenade through a living museum. Here you can still look directly over the mechanics’ shoulders and hear the swinging music of the 50s and 60s in the background. The glitter of chrome and bright colours invites every photo enthusiast to look for the motif in the detail and they will find them endlessly.
