Will this shake up the WRC rankings? Is it worth pre-booking tickets for Rally GB?

uh oh (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/3108065.stm):eek:

Edited to add:

"It was a company car and we're not sure who was driving" LOL.

Here is another report on the matter:

sorry, you have to cut and paste.

I cannot believe this. I understand safety on the road and its importance, but this seems to be going too far.

Probably the same camera bloke who caught me on the M4 on the way to the Felindre service park on the Saturday last year............... Git.

(Caught doing 94 :( but only got three points so could've been worse. Worst thing is I'd seen him, and backed off the throttle but the cruise control was engaged so I sailed through at the same speed.)

I hope they all get off with a heavy warning and a fine (because most of them aren't short of a bob or two), but knowing South Wales Police it wouldn't surprise me if they push for a ban.

If they are too harsh here it is just another excuse for them to not bother with the british rally
