andy Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 Just back from the pub (so excuse the talking bollocks!) Was talking to my mate about the Beef tribute vid and how I'd have to send him the link. He's not been to a rally since he was a kid (now 45!) and I've never been to one. I do loads of bike photography, but would love to try my hand at rallying pics so we've decided we're up for a day out - thing is we don't know what's on. Anything coming up that's worth a visit?
the squiggle Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 Colin McRae Forest stages on the 1st of Oct Grant
st3ph3n Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 I've never been to one myself. Had planned to try and see some of the Tarmac stuff earlier in the year, but like most of my plans I forgot about it. Also Andy, loving the sig. I nearly laughed up my breakfast roll there.
johnnyr6 Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 The mccrae rally will be superb with lots of old school rwd cars aswell as the wrc spec cars. All the mccrae family are racing. Colin is using his 330brake naturally aspirated mk2 escort, which weighing in at 900kgs will be one of the fastest cars there. I'll be there It's at perth on sat starts at 9am

Gumball Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 talking to the guy that bought my spoiler off my (Warby) from down south. Him and some of the guys from down south have been to germany this year and had an awesome time. They followed Peter Soljberg up to the service area over 30 miles of awesome speeds behind the legend himself. They are going again at the start of the year. March i think. I am seriously up for going with them next time to watch the wrc and get gassed at night and drive fast. awesome
andy Posted September 28, 2005 Author Posted September 28, 2005 Thanks for the replies guys. Can't make this weekend as I'm in Kinlochleven for the final round of the Brit Trials Championship - love that one for the run up through Glencoe The Cheviot Stages sound like a distinct possibility though. As for marshalling - having never been to a rally I think I'd like to find me feet first!
corsa Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 Cheviot is THE original closed roads Tarmac rallying. The Jim Clark aint got a look in.
craigdmcd Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 Sorry to disagree corsa, but I believe that the Tour of Mull is THE original and Best closed road rally, it's just a shame the weather usually sucks.
paulc555 Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 You want to see real tarmac rallying...go to the home... ireland......cant beat it....... just look at the irish guys and the quality of cars..... more wrc cars in the irish national championship than there is in the wrc itself....
ScoobyAndy Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 << Sorry to disagree corsa, but I believe that the Tour of Mull is THE original and Best closed road rally, it's just a shame the weather usually sucks >> well said m8. i was marshalling at Mull last year and it was fantastic. even better if you dont mind the cold, dark and midges. would do it again anytime as for Ireland... would love to go over to some of the events over there too. hear and seen alot about them and they look fantastic.
paulc555 Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 they are well worth the visit if you ever get the chance...thats one of the things i realy miss from home.... was into rallying as a stage commander for over 10 years...nd my wife was a timekeeper....but as much as ive tried to get into forest rallying here in scotland...its just not the same.......
