Pirelli International Rally 2008 BRC rnd1

[whitewash]

went up to pundershaw yesterday afternoon for the second loop of the rally, didnt manage to find a particularly good corner due to the 'spectator penning' meaning that from the carpark we parked in, you could only actually view 3 particularly unspecatular corners which was a shame, then again groupN cars are dull as dishwater anyway!

heres my pictures, not particularly exciting but i did manage to pin more than 1 decent shot of every car that passed which for me means im getting more consistent with my shots.

1. escort as always! running in the national class

2.Higgins in a latest spec Gp.N Subaru

3. Nice coloured Fiesta Gp.N

4.another escort, i used a polarizer for this one and it looks weird!

5.Fiesta Gp.N getting it all wrong, nearly in the trees!

6. Gp.N Fiesta sporting a controversial high downforce rear wing.

7. Pug 106

8. Another Escort, i dont think you can have too many of these!

9. Guy Wilks, Winner of the rally in his Evo9

10.Juho Haninen

An excellent set, just a pity you didn't nail the focus in No.5 as that would have been the best of the bunch (IMO).

Good work all the same!

Very nice set, really not at all sure about the new Impreza though ! Guess will have to see what the WRC looks like later this year.

Oooooo nice set, which stage(s) were you at?

I was at the night stages in Kershopefoot and day time stages at Arches Rigg and Pundershaw. Fantastic day out. I'll post a few of my collection up later on.

i was at pundershaw for the final stage of the day hybrid, last year i went to archies and really i should have gone there again, there was a bit more in the way of corner variation without having to walk too far, whereas the pundershaw carpark i went to fed only 4 corners one of whcih you couldnt get to to spectate.

i did ask a marshall if i could leave the 'pen' and he said it shouldnt be a problem but it was a fair walk to the next corner and suzie wasnt too keen walking too far!

 

[HybridUK]

were you at the bottom of the Pundershaw in the car parky kinda area? Downhill straight into a 90 degree corner at the bottom?

I have a couple of shots were Evans decided he'd put his car in the 2 foot of water lol.

i think we were up at the top, couldnt find the other car park!
