Ever since I first attended the Ritz-Carlton Orlando Festivals of Speed a little more than a decade ago, I wanted to show a car at this prestigious event located in a picturesque setting on the hotel's grounds. Yesterday, I was able to achieve that. Here are a few selected pictures:
Arriving:
Queued in the staging area:
Placed on the field. I was fortunate to get a favorable placement as a lead car in the American Sports Car Section:
There were a lot of unique vehicles and a great variety as well, including not one but 2 Bugattis:
Bugatti Chiron #1, (with an eye watering MSRP of $2.6 million):
Bugatti Chiron #2, All the way from Ontario, Canada. The tag read “FUNDSRLO" (funds are low)
I understand oil changes on these cars cost $21,000.
A more "pedestrian" Lamborghini Aventador SV:
If a sedan is more your style, there was this Rolls Royce Wraith Coupe with suicide doors:
Or this beautiful convertible ( Rolls Royce Dawn)
A Rhino GX luxury SUV:
Or a pretty blue monster truck. I’m not normally a fan of trucks, but something about this one caught my attention:
I was honored to have received an award:
It was the perfect ending to a great day. If you want to catch this event next year or any of the other ones, here is their website: https://www.festivalsofspeed.com/
