Some pics from the above event on SS1 & SS4 Landgale. Great weather in the morning but it could only last until the early afternoon until the high winds and pouring rain came. All comments welcome

Those are some very nice shots. As you said the rain came in so I went home before the second stage started.

Cheers,

Martin

I like #7 Darren. Great angle on the car, but it's the people with the brollies in the background that make the picture for me - it really shows what the conditions were like this afternoon.

Cheers,

Simon

Especially after the sunshine this morning. The vagries of the British weather. Still me and Geoff (GSH) kept ourselves entertained by either laughing at the bedragled people walking out of the stage in jeans and white trainers, or playing hide and seek with the end of Geoff's monopod :lol:

Oh, and forgot to mention - the mad guy who was running up and down the stage laughing and talking to himself. Seemed a bit put out when niether Geoff or I knew how much various parts of a rally car plucked out the air at random would cost :rolleyes::lol:.

Very nice Darren

I love the brolly shot, rallying in the U.K at its best

The Mk11 shot is excellent

It's a shame there's so much tape in the background but I know that can't helped at times

All great shots Darren but I think I like the one of Tim Pearcey the best, what junction were you at in Langdale? It must have been after 14 as the radio car in number 5 drove past us.


Cheers

Nice shots, Darren. All nicely sharp and well exposed. Some good action too. A pity about all the tape though, that stuff is the curse of rally stages.
