Thank you Daniel, interesting article

I don't speak Dutch, but this is what Google Translate says:

1st photo caption:
"No, it is too early to get home for Christmas to 'his' Josephine. Singer Chris Rea is spending enough time this weekend at Circuit Park Zandvoort racing. The 58-year-old Briton, who in the eighties scored big world hits with songs like 'Driving home for Christmas' and 'Fool if you think it's over', enters the Pirelli Ferrari Open and Classic."

2nd photo caption:
Chris Rea, who in his career has sold more than 30 million records, once early in singing a song to Shirley Bassey:,, Shirley, do you own a Ferrari? Do you live in a wonderful place? And the smile on your face is of Joyfull laughter, happy ever after.'' Bassey said then indeed to have a Ferrari. Chris Rea has actually in real life a passion for Italian sports cars. "I bought every used Ferrari I saw' 'said Rea once in an interview.

3rd photo caption:
Today and tomorrow will enter the Brit in Zandvoort with his favorite car. That Chris Rea 'good' can cope with his fans, he proved during the Saturday of the Wijzonol Trophy. On his way in a friendly reporter asked whether we could make a photo of Chris, he politely answered with two words: "F *** off!" And for the people who don’t know the English language is well powerful: the first word rhymes with the Dutch 'roof'. Thanks Chris!

4th photo caption:
And oh yes, the British Sunday may 19th in both races and leave. There are 26 Ferraris them.

This is a very loose translation but if someone out there who speaks Dutch could polish it, that would be great
