Lots of shots on the forum from Croft today already, so I'll only post a couple more . I'll try to post some different cars as well.

#1 Some glorious MkII Escorts on show.

Byte size: ZERO | Content warning: NOT AN IMAGE

#2 Not to be outdone, some lovely MkI's on display as well

Byte size: ZERO | Content warning: NOT AN IMAGE

#3 A classic rally would be truely classic without a Mini

Byte size: ZERO | Content warning: NOT AN IMAGE

#4 and finally, a fantastic Manta.

Great weather and lighting for the second weekend in a row at Croft :confused:

- unbelievable. Nice to be able to light up the cockpit and see the crews at work.

The more the merrier Simon

Beautiful shots, sharp as a knife and great colours too, i'm jealous

If i had to pick one out of those 4 i'd go for the Mk1 'Scort.

Nice work Simon. I like the Manta - I thought the driver was sticking his tongue out in concentration, but at a second glance it's probably just his mic!!

Great set of photos Simon, really like the 'stance' and the colours of the manta shot, the Escort in the first shot unfortunately doesn't look as pristine now

Cheers

Great stuff Simon. #4 does it for me as well. That shot gives me a strong feeling of what you motorsport experts sometimes refer to as 'car dynamics'...

Thanks Andy. There were a few that were sticking their tongue out as they passed, presumably in concentration and not because they were being rude :lol: .

Cheers,

Simon.

Thanks Ian. How much damage was done to 500BDX then? Is he still running? Managed to get the Manta under full power just before he changed gear hence the stance. Must have had the suspension set up for the forests I guess - looked a bit soft for tarmac.

Cheers,

Simon.
