Had a trip out this morning to watch the plains Rally in Mid Wales Nr Machynlleth.

Hadn't been to a Rally since the RAC in Kielder in around 1994, anyway I took Liam (my eldest) and we had a great time. We did get a little lost and we did end up walking quite a lot but the atmosphere was great.

I took some photo's, I have not done anything lik this before so they are a little hit and miss.


Modern 4x4 supercars.







Plenty of RWD Escorts Mk1 & Mk2



Good old Manta still going.


3 series BMW


Corolla ??


This poor bugger didn't make another lap



I didn't expect so see one of these



Opel something anyone have an idea what it might be?

Some stunning photo's there Richard, well done.

The last photo is a Opel Kadett Coupe, basically Germanys equivalent of our Vauxhall Chevette, although the "shove-it" never came in a coupe body. Rare to see one of those standard, let alone rally prepped.


Dan.

Richard, there are some really super pictures here - hit and miss my foot!

Looks like you had a nice time.

Going again then Rich?

Oh Yes, just need to weork out when now really.


Thanks for all the comments guys, those shots were probably the best one's it's take the photo and then turn your back before you get a face full of stones

It´s a C-Kadett Coupe.

Stunning pix. The Chevette looks awesome, used to have a full replica .

The Opel Kadette is super rare.

I haven't been to a rally before, and really must go. This mix of WRC, old group B, and Old Skool cars looks awesome. Rally drivers are _the_ best drivers in the world IMO

Some great action pictures Richard.
Looks to have been a great fun day out. As you say its the atomsphere that makes it.

Going and actually being there and watching the rally is one of those things I keep meaning to do but never get round to! looks like you had a good time and some nice pictures

How do you find out who's leading etc?

Here in germany you see them alot in slaloom races, they are cheap lightweight and easy to tune.
