Wales Rally GB 2010 - Photos
Time for another one of my rally photo threads :) (yes, you'll be please to know it'll be the last one of 2010!)
Four days in Wales, some beautiful weather on the Saturday and some shocking wind and rain on the Friday. Jay - sorry i didn't get the chance to meet up - would have joined you at Dixies but would have had to walk about 3 miles by the time i got there! Starting on Friday, spent the day on Myherin. Got there via the Elan Valley pass - what a road! Wished i was in the scoob! Didn't stop to take any photos of the scenery as we were running late, but it was cool stuff. Anyway, photos from Myherin's first stage..... http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...0/IMG_2845.jpg http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...0/IMG_2858.jpg http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...0/IMG_2876.jpg http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...0/IMG_2896.jpg http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...0/IMG_2901.jpg http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...0/IMG_2907.jpg http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...0/IMG_2909.jpg http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...0/IMG_2969.jpg http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...0/IMG_3009.jpg And then we wandered around for somewhere to watch the second run - walked up to a massive wind farm but the rain was falling by that point and it was rather open and exposed. Back under the trees it was! http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...0/IMG_3016.jpg http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...0/IMG_3023.jpg http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...0/IMG_3024.jpg http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...0/IMG_3030.jpg http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...0/IMG_3043.jpg http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...0/IMG_3058.jpg http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...0/IMG_3083.jpg And yes, i got soaked through! |
Saturday's weather was much brighter. Had planned to watch from Dixies on Halfway but once we got through the ticket check we realised how crammed it was and bailed out. Went to the other car park and a quiet spot i've been to loads before - there were less than 10 cars parked up so an easy walk into the stage :D
Got to watch both runs of the WRC entry, plus the National B event - a 65 car rally of anything from scoobs to mk2 escorts and more. Made it a entertaining day! http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...0/IMG_3103.jpg http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...0/IMG_3106.jpg http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...0/IMG_3118.jpg http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...0/IMG_3127.jpg http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...0/IMG_3150.jpg http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...0/IMG_3201.jpg http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...0/IMG_3240.jpg http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...0/IMG_3259.jpg http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...0/IMG_3269.jpg http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...0/IMG_3285.jpg The second WRC stage of the day didn't start until 4:30pm, so it was pretty dark out in the forests. http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...0/IMG_3303.jpg http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...0/IMG_3313.jpg Sunday to follow. |
And as if that wasn't enough :lol: this one is probably my favourite of the event.

Great pictures Steve, sounds like avoiding the crowds was a challenge.....good to find the more quiet spots for nexttime though.
Good to see some S2000's running aswell...... |

Sunday 30th January - Essex Stages, Brands Hatch (TBC) Lydden should be a laugh that early in the year. Don't forget your thermals... |

...I went there for Winter Rallycross a couple of years ago and there was a blizzard in the middle of the day. I don't think I've ever been so cold watching motorsport - they still carried on racing though! :doubleup: |
Sorry for the double post, but for anyone viewing this thread who is interested, the Rallycross Masters at Lydden has now been moved to Saturday 12th February. :)
