There was a 720S in a terrible half bourgondy, half red Metallic paint scheme.

Same one.
I quite like the nose color but it doesn't match the side to my eye.

Just returned to my hotel after FOS. Left early. Little to grab my interest. This is my 5th year and it's all starting to become too much the same. Disappointed GT2 not showing it's face until tomorrow.

Two best things of the day were the super car batch and the Ferrai batch. GT3 sounded very good going up the hill. It's a harder edge sound. The Hurcan Performante sounded great too. The 720S is a very interesting car to look at in the flesh but the sound is meh. I also liked the M4 CS. Could just be a replacement for my M2. Was also nice to see the AMG GTR again. Mine is only weeks away.

The Ferrai batch was probably the highlight. Beautiful collection of race cars from over the years. Everyone of them sounded awesome.

The rest of the program was too much the same. Even the big sculpture is starting to look the same. Not sure I will go next year.

If you're bored of FOS, you're bored of cars man. I can't think of any show around the world I've been to which even compares. What about the revival in sept, have you been to that?:.. that's also amazing but different cars of course.

After FOS gets boring there is only tracking cars or the stuff you inject which can get you higher... or try some whip and chain stuff maybe to get the endorphins going, I dunno.

I guess it depends on how many times you have been. This year I felt there were too many returning cars and bikes from the last few years.

F1 the same, NASCARs the same, pre-war the same. To get me back next year they are going to have to do something a bit different. I would like to see a Le Mans theme. Now that would get me back.

You're right, I've experienced that after doing pebble, villa d'este, revival, FOS.. its the same brave dudes who bring their cars around the world. There is one count volpi breadvan 250 gto and I've seen that thing race all around the world. But the day that gets boring.. I'm booking the first one-way to mars with Musk because then the world will have become too small... there just aren't that many amazing cars to see!

We sat at the Porsche pavilion and that had excellent view next to the house. Plan to walk around a bit and grab a table if I see one to park Mrs..
Just got in. Where is the Porsche Pavilion? Cannot find it. The Porsche cafe told me they had no availability till the end of the weekend. Strange - plenty of empty tables. I have a bag of keys on me, but not sure where to use them

It is on the right side of the road. Rather north.

If I see it I'll post video.

Otherwise it should be in the video from the live feed.
