Sunseeker Rally.....

who's that weirdo in the scooby hat? :lol:

haven't looked through my photos yet - they'll have to wait until tomorrow i think! great day out tho, even better that the weather stayed good :)

Excellent day out, my first rally event and it won't be my last. That Cosworth Peugeot was an absolute screaming flying machine, god knows what that thing was reving to but it sounded like a bike engine.

Some fantastic pics wish i had gone sick now.:drive:

You should of done Nige, you missed a good day out :doubleup:

Great shots there. Surprised the camera was able to process the one of the guy in the hat. Now I thought I recognised him, but his camera was too low to the ground for the guy I'm thinking of.
:SMBLU:

Awesome pics :10:

Looks like a cracking day those ones where you got a bit wet are great shots...well worth the soaking IMO...but then I wasnt there so I'm bound to say that :lol::lol:

Neil

The pug T16 cossie thing looked a beast.
Bet the mk11 escorts sounded well too.

It sounded absolutely insane - it gets so much attention and it just seems to have so much power. Watched it full throttle out of a hairpin on one of the stages yesterday and it was still snaking around for traction at what must have been 70-80mph easily :mrgreen:

As Steve said it was by far the best sounding car of the day.....only revs to 11k though, not bad for a V6!!!

Cracking pics there steve. That must be some camara you are using. :doubleup:

Wicked pics for sure Steve, 700 bloomin heck man got a bit of storage on the camera then.

Great Pic's guys.....loving the Rothmans Mk2

And believe it or not, that was car zero - last car though as a inspection 'safety car' before the stage goes live for the competitors.

He was giving it the beans all the way round though :mrgreen:

Fantastic Pics guys, great job, looks like a fantastic day. :doubleup:

Said it on several forums now, but top pictures! I've just started using a similar setup, so its nice to see whats possible with the camera - once I've got a bit better with it that is! :lol:

As I said, it was well worth signing up to take a look as its good to see whats achieveable with that sort of Canon DSLR (I'm using an EOS500D with a 55-250mm lens, so you've got a bit more range then me!). One of the other Subaru chaps I drove down with was using a 450D and I'm sure he got some cracking shots as well.

Theres a bit more walking involved then circuit racing, but you can get waaaaaaay closer then you can at other motorsport events! The next rally down South is the Tempest - but thats not until November :(

So its either a trip up North, or some rallycross at Lydden until November to get a rally fix!

I'm thinking about a trip to one of the mid-Wales rallies in the summer months (maybe a tarmac event up on the Eypnt ranges) but will have to see what state funds are in after the Ring trip.

Oh, and there might be an SES trip to Lydden announced shortly ;)

I really fancy checking out a proper tarmac event and Eypnt seems to be the one to do. Pity its so far away! :roll:

Theres actually rallycross (Winter Series) there this weekend, but the entry list doesn't look that great (only 4 Supercars) so I may save the petrol money! The British Championship is there next month though, so I assume thats what the road trip is for?

Very nice pictures:10:
