A few pics from Saturday. Very hot and dusty, but a fab entry list with lots of WRC cars through MkII escorts 1400's and even Landies

Can't go wrong given the only cost was £2 forestry parking! What a sport

I didn't get there this year but the pics are great.

Like you say "what a sport" ,more action in one stage than a whole year of F1

Very true and you get alot closer to the action for much less cash

Stupid Q time... how do you guys find out about these events?

Not a stupid question, these events seem to get no national press coverage at all and I think even some locals don't know they're on until the cars come past their doors! I can't believe I only got into watching these things last year - until then I thought rally spectating was like the British GP and only for the rich - d'oh!

Best place to look is in Motorsports News or on www.britishrally.com. They have a calender here: http://www.britishrally.com/forum2/f...TID=16272&PN=1

Most rallies are only a couple of quid a stage, or even free. The British Rally Championship can charge a fiver a stage. Rally GB is £100 for everything over 3 days, it's a bit more of an "event".

Most rallies involve parking your car among about 50+ scoobies and evo's on a forest track somewhere, then a half mile walk to the actual stage. You'll then see anything up to 120 cars race past. You can usually choose your own vantage spot(s) as long as you obey safety instructions.

Cheers,

Thanks! Lol, you never miss a chance to roll those out, eh? Nice pics though!

Andy - hope you get to a rally and enjoy it, I think they're a right laugh. Can't beat getting so close to the action and also a nice camaraderie among the crowd too.

Nice pics!

My pics seem to have developed less wheels and bigger wings just lately, should be getting back to cars on Sunday from Goodwood though and rally cars on the Jim Clark in a fortnight, an event not to be missed!

Don't forget snet's very own motorsport forum for upcoming rallies

Ooops! Had to remove the pictures directly linked to my site - gone over my bandwidth limit. Didn't think this thread would be so popular!
