Default WRC Corsica 2008 a few snaps.

Here we go a few from me.

First we started in Monaco and decided to walk the GP circuit, what a place and the carparks are a bit special.











Here we are in the service area and the teams are rebuilding the cars after WRC Spain.







The SWRT team taking 5 for some lunch inbetween setting up home for the next few days.



A few here of the SWRT VIP area














Mr Prodrive himself.



Gareth Jones and an interview with Neil cole from Dave.







At the start ramp.



And the calm before the storm



Here we go day one first stage about 3 bends in from the start an early bath for someone, ooopppps.





In a convoy



Off the start line















Two brothers



Over night halt, a few bobs worth in here.



One of many I took of the Island



Sunday morning and SWRT cooking our bacon and eggs



Here we go we all talk about STI this and STI that, well here is the man Mr STI himself Mr Shigeo Sugaya what a nice bloke



We even found lions and tigers on the side of the main road



.


Hope you enjoy just a small selection of the ones I took to share with you all


Si will be along shortly with a few more i'm sure

Great stuff. I think the Hawkeye looks more of a rally animal than the scoopless Hatch.

Fantastic rough driving roads in Corsica any time of year. I recommend everyone takes their car there one day. Just don't fall of the side of any mountains.

Good to see another Welshman about

Gareth Jones and a really top guy, we spoke with him everyday through the weekend plus had a wave on stage when we watched at the start and the finish of a couple of stages.





















finally for now....

Well done on getting there! Not the easiest or cheapest place to get to out of season.

I've done a couple of WRC events there and really enjoyed it. The island is just a fantastic place to visit....so good in fact I spent a week there during easter doing tourist stuff.

Looks like you did well with the weather it's not always like that in October, could you see snow on the central mountains?

I'll try and dig some of mine out from 02 and 03.

I agree, but we had to stop and take a few as they were on the side of the main road into town

No snow on the mountains just wall to wall sunshine, looks like we were lucky Just a shame we had to drag all the wet weather gear along but at least we had the benefit of not needing to use it

I think we covered most of the crews

A set of wheels and tyres would have been nice

There were so few spectators about we spoke to most of the top guys in passing every morning it got a little surreal in the end when some actually came and spoke to us by the sunday morning

It was on my "to do" list since the 80's after watching many many Corsica rallies on the TV. I'm pleased to have been its well worth making the trip and not just for the rallying, it's a wonderful island to visit.
