I can't believe it! I went to a local rally at the weekend, only to find the place packed full of POTN photographers!
I'm amazed Rallies are allowed in this dumbed-down health & safety age. There are no barriers, frequently no marshals to be seen and the place is swarming with kids on bicycles, leaping out of the way just before a 600hp monster ploughs round the corner. Still, it makes for some great photography for those of us that are brave (or stupid!) enough to get close to the action in the hope that the next car doesn't catch a pothole and end up too close for a fish-eye lens!!
Yes, I was also at the Rallye Sunseeker and here are a few (more) photos. I tried to find something a little different to all the others but frankly, I've seen so many that I can't remember what everyone else has taken!! And that's the reason I haven't posted until now - I've been too busy reading all the other threads!! Great shots guys!
So, if you're not too bored of rally cars by now, see what you think of these...
A few from the morning's Uddens Forest stage:

And just a couple from the afternoon's Wareham stage, since everyone's already posted loads from here!
#6. The winning Hyundai, showering everyone with gravel which some people were too busy sheltering from to take photos of it!

So there you go! Let me know what you think, if you're not too tired of posting on rally threads! I had a great day out, despite my legs aching from all the trudging through mud.
