Been Rallying! *Video Added*
« on: 20 May 2012, 19:33 »
Just got back from 2 days marshaling at south hams rally, thought you might like to see some pics, iv'e got an awesome video i'm trying to put together if you know of any free software out there i can use to stick it all together! Anyhoo enjoy!



















rover V8 powered mk2 escort was pure mentalist!


My personal favorate, cost 130k to prepare, Carbon fibre floorpan throughout, it was pure beauty!



video of it through a fast bend



and on the very next lap on the same corner





real shame as it was easily by far the nicest, tidiest bit of kit iv'e ever seen, wish i'd got more photo's of it, but it will be at the next rally!

another casualty





as soon as the video is done i'll post it up!

Rallying in the UK is never as interesting as that on the continent, as it's almost exclusively old Escorts, with some Imprezas mixed in and a few Super 1600s thrown in for good measure, whereas European events have a rather wider mix of metal.  :undecided:

scoobies and evo's can suck my balls! The reason it's all escorts is because it takes a man with skill to do a storming time, anyone can rag a 4wd computer driven peice of japanese disposable sh!te! I feel quite strongly on the subject, watch the video, see the difference? hear the difference, in the evo you just turn the wheel and plant your foot and the computer does all the work, no drama, no skill, NO SOUL! See the escort, so many adjustments and alot of skill not to mention sheer bollox! At the end of the day the escort finnished 1m 50s ahead of that evo! Love it!

You've totally missed the point.

European rallies have Mantas, 911s and way more other interesting metal which is what makes a parade of Escorts a bit dull.

Nothing to do with computers, or 4WD.

Been to the Sunseeker.  Same issues.

I've only been once to watch rallying at Sherwood Pines and it was exactly as described above. Still, worth a watch  :smiley:
