Photos from the Professional Motorsport World Expo in Cologne, Germany

Professional Motorsport World Expo is one of the big events for motorsport enthusiasts, engineers and motorsport tech oriented companies and individuals in Europe. I had the chance to visit the expo in Cologne, Germany a while ago. It was an amazing time for me, and more so, because there was a lot of tech stuff that was new and interesting, as well as some bikes that were the stuff my dreams were made of.

PMWE took place at the Koln Messe, the international trade fair and exhibition center located in Cologne, Germany. Here are some of the pictures I took from that event.

The famous tuning forks logo of Yamaha. Yamaha's history as a musical equipment manufacturer is reflected in this logo. They still manufacture world class musical instruments today.

I do not know much about motor sports or this technology, but your photos are amazing!

Espectaculares Fotografías, me encantan, aunque no practico este deporte es impresionante la tecnología y alta calidad con la que cuentan estos automóviles.. Como siempre fascinada con tus excelentes fotografías.

Thanks! It is an amazing sport to be passionate about for me. :)

Gracias! Es un deporte increíble para ser apasionado por mí. :)

Personally I think Yamaha is the best motorcycle brand in the world, a demonstration of this is that the eternal motoGP champion Valentino Rossi drives a YAMAHA.

To each his own opinion. Cheers!

No recordaba que yamaha es fabricante de instrumentos musicales, ahora que lo mencionas me vienen a la mente haber visto instrumentos como teclados con esa marca..

They started out making pianos and then other musical instruments. That's their heritage, and also where the tuning forks logo come from. Tuning forks are indicators for the tune of an instrument. It interesting.

Empezaron a hacer pianos y luego otros instrumentos musicales. Esa es su herencia, y también de dónde proviene el logo de tuning forks. Las diapasones son indicadores de la afinación de un instrumento. Es interesante.

That engine is a beast man!

Indeed it is! It has to be to do such kind of power!
