Picies from leg2 of the rally. The 2nd stage we visited was cancelled after Sainz had his accident. We still had fun though, the scrine to the dead cars of McCrash, Solberg and Makinen turned a few heads. :lol:

Pity you cant hear the noise the Auriol fans were making, it was hilareous with their horns and trumpets.

Picies from the final day, the rain was horendous on the stages, we all looked liked drowned rats.
We got front row for the finish, the damn pro-photographers were a real pain in the ass and wouldnt stick to their designated area so got in the way a lot. I wish i had a big stick with me! :mad:

Picies from the Rallyshow in Cardiff. Pretty much a market for buying rally books, clothes etc. Some picies of the more interesting displays.

Thanks Jamie, works better in this format. :D

ttt

come on Daniel, get those vids up, it's not like you have much to sort through! ;) :lol:

Just spoted on the Arai picie, that white pod on the roof is what was being tested for next seasons Net based timing system that will give live updates via GPS of the cars on stage.

Quite an exciting development for rally fans. My pal Simon is developing the web site for this project, believe me it is seriously impresive!!

Awesome pics, wish I had been there! Certainly doesn't look like pictures can come anywhere close to the excitement of seeing it in person, or even video. They still look good though. Bet you had a blast!

The rally is huge fun, i have been to watch the RAC/NetworkQ for the last 18 years and it still gives me a buzz to see the cars in action.

Daft as it sounds i miss the hikes up 1 in 3 hills for 3 miles in the pissing rain already. :confused: :lol:

This year was the first i had taken time out to go see the shakedown and it's definately worth the extra time. You can get so close to the drivers and cars, we must have seen the top runners on the shakedown stage at least 6 times each.

One of the problems on the NetworkQ is traffic but we used our experience to get round this. I have a copy of the Official co-drivers maps and we used these to navigate down tiny B and C roads to bypass all the sheep using the official A road spectator route. We never missed a single car on stage and managed 3 stages on day1 alone.

This year was huge fun having Jamie, Dan and Chris my brother along for the ride. Such a shame it had to end.

Roll on next year, i fancy trying Rally Catalunya, never seen a Tarmac WRC event and its only a couple of hours away on a plane. :D

holy cow thank god for broad band..
