Default Wales Rally GB Day 3
Well here it is the last day of Wales Rally GB.

Headed just 5 minutes from my front door to Margam to the Jump. What a day!

Seeing Sebastian Loeb over it on the last time as he needed to be fastest to win the event. This he did! i have never seen someone try to take this jump at this speed it was surreal, A real win it or bin it mode!

Some pics..

#1 Sebastian Loeb this was on his second run said above


#2 Jari Matti Latvala having a go, Thought this was quick!


#3 Dani Sordo taking off like a plane


#4 Henning Solberg having some problems


#5 Valentino Rossi


#6 Patrick Floodin


#7 Youngster 17 year old Tom Cave braking into the top 30 finish on his first ever attemp after only passing his driving test the week before.


#8 The Classic Land Rovers...Spectators supporting them well.


As always C&C Welcome

Regards,
Jon.S

Cracking shots again Jon, the Loeb shot is awesome. Certainly sounds like he gave it everything on the last stage to get the win over Jari. Really missed not going this year

They're great shots, particularly as it doesn't look as though the sun was too kind to you.

Nice to see "The Doctor" having fun as well.

Fantastic shots. The Loeb and Sordo shots have got to be two of the best rally shots i have seen posted on here, by far.

Not only do you take some great shots, you seem to have the gift of the gab to get some great positions. Not sure if you can bee seen here at around 50 seconds - http://www.wrc.com/jsp/index.jsp?lnk=300&featureid=893
