Default Rallycross - close encounters

The usual suspects were all the rallycross today (Sunday) so expect a few posts. I thought I would show some slightly different shots, mainly the close battles. I hope you like my quick selection of the day's action.

Minis are always good fun:


Amazing just how much lean you can get:


Chase that Porsche:


Oops, you can't polish that out:


An interesting three quarter pan:


Flamethrower to frighten anyone following:


Back to circuit racing next week.

I am quite partial to the leaning puma shot out of all of them, can't fault any of them though and as inspiring as usual.

Fantastic stuff, Ken. I particularly like the "Chase that Porsche" shot.

Hi KennyG.

Do you have any photographs of Car 618 Blue and Red Peugeot 205 Stockhatch, or 324 Silver S2000 Peugeot 205?
Both blew up in their first heats, photos would be great!

Thankyou.
