Rallying on a circuit never has quite the same character as one based in a forest. So this selection looks a little tame compared with those from a very snowy and picturesque Wyedean.

Wot? No RS200? Someone told me that an RS200 was supposed to be there!

Yes it was there, but it seemed to spend more time on the end of tow rope!

One picture more....

Glenn, the RS missed the first two stages, the spun on SS3. it then wouldn't start for three mins. Then on that lap it pulled of at St Marys and was never seen for the rest of the day.

Mmm... Good catch getting it then Robert! It seems you didn't have many chances. They were never the most reliable of things but then that's hardly surprising given what they were and who made them.

Good stuff Robert. I was there from about 10am till 2pm. Strange event, find it hard to class as a "rally" but it's good to get back out there isn't it :) Yeh saw the RS200 spin, looked like it had too much power to be honest, good fun to drive though I would imagine!

As for the shots I like #4 and #5 as you've used the make shift tyre walls to good effect. White Balance looks a bit off on a couple but it could be my monitor.

D'OH! I was trying to find some motorsport to photograph this weekend and couldn't seem to find anything. I was thinking of taking a random trip to Goodwood in hope something was on but i bailed out incase it was a wasted trip.
