If I have confirmed anything in all these years dedicated to automotive journalism, it is that, if you want to see the best cars, you have to cross the pond, and the annual meeting of the club SCD Secret Meet is the clearest example. “only” more than the 500 super sports and expensive cars in the world gathered at the exclusive event organized by the British portal, Supercar Driver.
The headquarters was at the Donington Park circuit, UK, where the timed track day was held, despite the fact that the rain at times did not intend to let up, even the Goodwood Festival of Speed also suffered from the weather conditions. But that didn’t deter the enthusiasts much and the powerful supercars took to the track to have some fun.
The list of models is as extensive as it is impressive. It is enough to name some of the cars that were seen during the two days that the event lasted, the vast majority coming from all over Europe:
- McLaren F1
- Maserati MC12
- Mercedes-Benz CLK Roadster
- Ferrari F40
- Lamborghini Diablo
- Mercedes-AMG One
- an Aston Martin Valkyrie and Valkyrie AMR Pro
As alternate activities, Koenigsegg took the opportunity to unveil the new CC850, while Porsche celebrated 20 years of the Carrera GT. At the end of the second day, and despite the constant wet conditions, the timings returned the fastest cars in the event:
- Rodin F-Zed: 1:23.936
- Lamborghini Huracan GT3: 1:40.050
- Aston Martin Vantage GT3: 1:40.562
- Porsche 911 GT3 Cup: 1:40.672
So, this is the tip: if you want to see the best cars on the planet, go organizing your “backpack”.
