Decided to go along to the opening round of Northern Ireland Rally Championship at Kirkistown on Saturday. Very good event with lots of easy access and good photo shooting opportunities. There was an impressive collection of machinery there and even a WRC Ford Anglia ! , anyhow here's some of my pics of the day.
