Rock-thrower MK3 Supra by FullGas

I wasn’t ready to meet FullGas guys. They’re very nice guys and they have a special taste for over-the-top crazy things like driving 350km to Valencia and back in a Supra without side mirrors nor side windows, not very legal roll cage and rear wind, unbolted front fenders in the trunk, etc. Why not use the flatbed you’ll ask. Because they also brought an engine-less RX7!

The monday after Eurocrew Stance Weekend 2019, as we all meet to say goodbay they decided to make some nice dirty donuts showeing us with flying rocks. I realized I had put at risk my photo gear and my own face when Robin from ILB Drivers Club got his phone’s glass destroyed in his pocket by one flying rock. Even having that in mind, I still think the pictures are worth it!

Eurocrew Stance Weekend 2019

We got bigger. We went indoor. And it was awesome. For the first time I became part of the team behind this show and put in it as much effort as I could: graphic design of all merchandise clothing, all social media design, promo video, venue layout and decoration, car admission plan and more. A lot of work from many people was necessary but the result speaks by itself. Eurocrew Stance Weekend gathered shy of 5.000 people, 25% cars came from all around Europe (most of them from Portugal, France and Switzerland) including the awarded TOP 1, 2 and 3. The list of international guests was greater than ever, including part of Players Shows team, FLGN TLT, Kyza, Mike Crawat, Null-Bar, Brussel’s Finest, Camber and more, some of them acting as judges. We also had ILB Drivers Club behind the official movie plus a ton of awesome media producers. The best part? The overall nice feedback we got from sponsors, public, attendees and guests. More than enough to start looking for ECSW 2020.

The new 2019 venue was a 12.000 square-meter pavilion at Valencia’s Exhibition Center (Feria Valencia) providing Eurocrew space for 270+ cars, 15 sponsor stands, chill lounge with shisha service, both off-road and drift RC tracks, racing sims, truck stage with live Dj and more. On the first evening of event -saturday- all attendees were shuttled to a nearby kart racetrack where they could enjoy some activities and beers till night. Sunday was crammed with people and we lived the best award ceremony to date, featuring words from our international guests in front of a huge crowd. Check some videos of ECSW19 here.

Miguel’s F30 · Private photoshoot

In my opinion this is a perfect execution of term oem+ on a modern car. A set of coilovers and some 20″ version of the 19″ BMW X5 wheels are more than enough to move this car closer to stance territory while maintaing a clean and conservative look.

This photoshoot was arranged in the Marina area of Valencia which includes some remainings of the defunct F1 Valencia Street Circuit, as you can see in the first picture.

Raceism 2018

I remember being in the right seat of our rental car with two more Eurocrew members and Israel from Fuelvein, just outside the city of Wroclaw and suddenly, a beautiful stadium completely surrounded by stance cars, tons of people and a huge banner as tall as the stadium itself. What a big event. Definitely this can be considered the centre of the universe when it comes to the stance scene in Europe. Dominated by a large container-built stage sponsored by Rotiform, the main show & shine area gathered every big project you saw over the last weeks on instagram. But even in the opposite corner of the stadium, the level was still high. These builds speak for themselves:

We really enjoyed those three days like kids on a toy shop. There were builds for every taste, the amount of effort surrounding that stadium was astonishing. We also enjoyed the small city of Wroclaw with nice places to eat, go for a walk and relax (and party too). As Eurocrew we also were glad to meet some people we follow including Kapica, Jay from Players, FLGN TLT guys, Kyza and some other friends we only meet at european events. Overall, the experience has been superb and we’ve already saved the date for next year’s Raceism. If you’re thinking about attending one of the biggest stance shows in Europe, definitely put Raceism on top of your list.

Just as told in the previous post, this photoshoot was arranged with two couples visiting our city. In this case, a beautifull F31 3-Series BMW rolling on BBS LMs.

Cassandra’s Scirocco · Private Photoshoot

One day I got a call from Eurocrew’s boss Jaume telling me about two couples that were visiting the city with cool cars. One hour later this pictures were taken. Lovely Scrirocco driven by Cassandra, a very tasteful build.

Stephane’s TT · Private photoshoot

All the way from france, I was pleased to stay with this beauty no more than one hour before having dinner, as It had already been a long day. Still, enough time to take a couple of light paint pictures.

Adri’s WRX STI · Private photoshoot

When people think about a stance car they render it slow and sloppy. Not even close with this WRX STI. Driven hard by its enthusiastic owner and built by KS Kustom, here pictured with termporary wheels as the desired ones weren’t ready for the event.

Jorge’s E36 · Private photoshoot

They call it the unicorn and it’s color is nothing but discreet. Crazy low static E36 driven all the way down from Zaragoza to Valencia.

Alberto’s Z3 · Private photoshoot

Alberto’s static Z3 drives so low you won’t believe it’s on coilovers. Mint condition paintwork and faboulous BBS fitment create a very elegant yet sporty fun machine.

Eurocrew Stance Weekend 2018

One more year, this gets bigger and better! The little park where the Stance Weekend has its place every year it’s starting to be overwhelmed by the growing amount of cars and public that want to come. The level is higher than ever, with builds coming from Portugal and France, visitors comming from many parts of Europe and this year’s official film on the hands of ILB Drivers Club. Firmly established as the biggest stance event in Spain, I’d like to give my congrats to the Eurocrew team and tell them to keep pushing this up!

At the end of the Nascar Series Weekend, me and two Eurocrew members (Jaume and Tono) decided to take some pictures under the sunset before leaving.

Nascar European Series at Valencia

Nascar is not a crowd mover in Spain, but surely this event at Ricardo Tormo’s Circuit makes it interesting. It’s not only Nascar, you got a bunch of smaller european grip series that are way more eye-catching plus additional activities like quarter-mile drag races and a show&shine stance area. Great day!

XVIII Rallye Ciudad de Valencia

There’s one rally named after my city and I have to love it. It’s small and there’s not a lot of cars but the spread of classic ones makes it worth it. The cloudy sky and the aftermath night at the Lucas Guerrero International Karting made for some interesting Porsche pictures.

More info about this event here.

Eurocrew & Friends 1.0 · Official Film

Up to date, Eurocrew had one event: the Stance Weekend. But that has changed in 2017 with Eurocrew & Friends, a day-and-a-half event without style-related restrictions: stance, racing, classic, rally, street, tuner, import, etc. Everyone was welcomed and that skyrocketed the public attendance.

On the first day -well, actually afternoon- a meet had place in a industrial location next to the dinner restaurant. On sunday, the event venue was a local track named Circuit de la Ribera, with a medium-sized racetrack, kart racing, drift area and a huge show and shine area with all-style cars.

23º Rally La Nucía

On 3rd and 4th of November, it took place the 23rd rally at La Nucía on the province of Alicante. Inside-stage camp sleep was necessary and beigh waked up by the safety cars was interesting. 

Good classic car presence but the best part of the weekend was the last night stage on first day. Night rallying is just awesome. Something every petrolhead should experience once in a while.

I Subida Villa de Pego

In August 2017 the Mutxamel uphill dropped off the calendar, so the first Pego uphill was created as a replacement by being a very similar stage. Sketchy roads with fast and slow sections along with a wide variety of cars made a good spectacle.

If you’re wondering what is this yellow car, it’s an original Renault Alpine A110.
