I got called up at late notice for this one. Lovely event, lovely people and even lovelier machinery. Some livery ideas for slot rallyists maybe?

Pretty sure that the Putzes get the wheels for their Porsche from Staffs as well...

What a great opportunity!

I’ll be at the much less glamorous rally north wales on Saturday after a really good but short Malcolm wilson a week ago

The red on that Bastos 037 looks wrong.

Not as wrong as the dayglo Stratos - although it's still pretty appealing.

Remote servicing on this rally took me back to my old days on the BRC back in 1996-97. The trick is finding a way to leave service after the last car has departed and arrive at the next service before the first car appears. Admittedly, they do have a special stage to do in between but you can certainly blow away the cobwebs in ways that WRC service crews have long-since forgotten!

not sure there is enough interest for me to create a thread for it, but some more great rallying action this weekend on the North wales/Bulldog as was. Luckily having a pass I could access Gartheiniog which is such a wonderful stage for photos. SS5 was cancelled with 30ish cars still to run - so a quick dash off to Dyfnant on the way home for the last 30 or so cars there as well - although by nature of my late arrival I had to go in via the spectator car park and couldn't escape to somewhere quiet and without people!
