This time, ladies gave their best, surprising us all, so if you please read as follows…
Day 1, Friday morning: Meet the cars, drive and chill…
Associates and friends, drivers and passengers, all SpeedSectors check-in and travel united on Friday morning, heading to Macedonia airport-Thessaloniki, where they will meet again their fancy group of supercars, already there via cargo transport from Athens the day before. Shining Porsche, Ferrari, BMW, Mercedes and a couple of GTR, parked side by side, stand out just like a vision on airport’s parking lot for all clueless visitors. For the car enthusiasts, it should be a striking shock! Engine start and off we go for the quaint city of Kastoria, the astonishing drive all around the famous lake, a visit to the nearby Panagia Mauriotissa monastery aging from as long as 1802, concluding with a great lunch at Ktima Kelari, located to Ampelokipous, a village 10km outside the city of Kastoria. After that, one last evening coffee by the lake, enjoying the magnificent lake view, relaxing and chatting with friends, left for a while the fleet of cars parked on Kastoria’s public parking, to attract locals’s attention and compliments. Sunset finds SpeedSectors heading to Serres, on their final destination for the day, Elpida Resort & Spa, an all time classic choice for guaranteed hospitality in Northern Greece.
Day 2, Saturday’s Challenge…
Saturday’s special program, starts with a briefing held in one of Elpida’s Resort & Spa private conference rooms, presenting all specifications while analyzing all technical features of the brand new, high performance Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tire. Participants got also a short briefing on the upcoming Michelin PS4 Challenge presented by Thomas Papapaschos, Executive Manager of Driving Academy. Men and women, regrouped later on to drive a BMW 116d, sponsored by BMW Spanos, in a go-kart track, nearby Serres Circuit. Drivers against time, had to go through a specially designed by Driving Academy course, make no mistakes and be as fast as possible, competing for a set of brand new Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2, sponsored by Michelin. Women surprised us all, for being focused, accurate, persistent while fast enough to take them under serious consideration!
