While there is no such thing as a shortage of stance/modified automotive events held in my home country of Hungary, last month the local scene was treated to the most effective yet: IDOLZ.
The event not only attracted a few of the best possible Hungarian builds but additionally brought in visitors – and cars – from abroad, inspiring all that attended.
As you’d expect with a reputation like IDOLZ, the event was headlined by a number of hero cars. These included the Mapet-Tuning C3 Corvette envisioned by Khyzyl Saleem, the carbon-enriched RWB Porsche 964 ‘Kimera’ owned by Alex from The Notorious Fam, and last but not least, RS Hardcore Germany’s savage 1,500hp Porsche GT3 RS.
A location could make or break an event, and on this case, it was definitely the previous. There’s something so cool about seeing modified cars in a classic setting. IDOLZ took that idea and ran with it.
Festetics Castle in Dég near Lake Balaton is Hungary’s earliest neoclassical residence. If the essential constructing itself wasn’t spectacular enough, the park-like grounds are home to the most important English garden within the country. The juxtaposition between latest and old was stunning.
The event was run over two days, with the primary day (Saturday) reserved for exhibitors and media only. This made shooting a breeze. The following day it was opened as much as most people, with an awesome vibe.
As a bonus, I also had a chance to take part in an early-morning private photoshoot with the Corvette and 964.
What sets Hungary’s modified automotive scene aside from most other countries is that custom modifications are prohibited here. Anyone can construct a automotive, but getting it legal for road use is something else altogether. Moreover, Hungarian laws around automotive modifications are strictly enforced by the police. Unsurprisingly, this was one in every of the essential topics of dialogue over the weekend.
I even have to congratulate the team behind IDOLZ for putting on a tremendous event. After eight years of smaller meets they took the plunge and went all in, and it totally paid off. What was achieved is something never before achieved by anyone in our small country.
