Here's a few of the pics I took on my trip over to the UK for the RAC. All sorts of nice cars...

First, a Group N Evo 7 on Halfway 1 on Saturday. Man that stage was a mess!

 

Passonen's Evo WRC in Walter's Arena on the Rheola stage on Friday...

 

Passonen's Evo WRC on Halfway 1 on Saturday... after the wreck(s). You can see one of the (I think) Super 1600's in the foreground

 

Gronholm's Pugeot from that same place in Halfway 1. Like I said, a big mess. Delecour also retired further down the stage.

 

From the parking lot of Resolfen on Sunday morning. A Skyline GT-R.

 

The same Skyline later in the day at Margam, the last stages of the rally.

 

And finally, his buddies, parked two slots away. A WRX trying to be a 22B and an Evo2 GSR.

 

nice how was watching the rally? i have to do that before i die..lol

 

It's cool in person, but I also like watching on TV. You get to see tons more on TV without having to wake up early, get in and out of the stage, stand around forever, etc. But that said, the TV doesn't do justice to the experience of hearing, seeing, and smelling the cars fly by. It's unbelievable how fast these guys are going.

You could always head down to Rally Mexico in March.

 

iodine23, Thanks for the pictures! You still in UK?

I'm interested in going to the WRC event in Mexico, but only if we go in your Evo.

 

Ignore...

 

I just got back from the UK, I'll be posting up the new pics when I get a chance. Those were pics from last year's event.

 

Sweet, can't wait! Get any pics of Makinen's golden boots?

Passonen's crash and those pics were from 2002
