Hi guys,

I have just returned from the best rally spectating event I have ever seen, the 2003 Acropolis rally.

I spent the week with my friends Alister and Paul from http://www.ultimaterallyworld.com/index2.html doing a complete recee of the event to provide detailed information for Alister’s clients, this included driving the stages numerous times in order to find the best locations for spectating and photography, we also checked out the best routes into stage to allow for fast access. In total we drove 2000 miles, half of which was on gravel stages or access roads, that was great fun.

I hope you enjoy the pictures; they are many more located on my website at http://www.johnfelstead.co.uk/rally/wrc/acropolis_2003.htm (i have pictures from many other WRC rallies if you would like a look, the site is still under construction so check back ocasionally)

superb pics and great to see the Focus kicking butt :D

Great pics John, what camera you using? 35mm or Digital?
Must say those pics have got me nicley warmed up for Cyprus now, a rally in the sun:D
Do you have any Cyprus viewing tips?

thanks chaps.

I havent been to Cyprus before, Alister has though and is taking some clients, so maybe you should drop him an email?

My camera is a rather cheap digital hand held jobbie, i would love to have a proper SLR digital camera as the locations i am getting to are fantastic, my pictures dont do them justice really.

Amazing Pics :D

Oneday i will go abroad...

Awesome pics matey:cool: I'm not jealous at all:D
