Have been involved in the sport since 1980. Help out as an official in anything from club events to international event ranging from road closures to Clerk of Course.

Have been competing (as a driver) since 1984, mostly in old Datsuns, but my current car is a Mitsubishi Lancer evo 3.

Do most of the preparation on my own vehicles and my son’s (TKM Jnr) who is currently running my old Subaru RX Turbo.

If I’m not competing or officiating, then I’m usually servicing. Rarely get to spectate (live), as I’m usually too busy doing everything else. Looking forward to the WRC coming to the east coast of Australia where I can get to see it more often.

Love the sport and watch as much rallying on TV, video, and DVD as I can from all over the world, be it WRC, IRC, BRC, ARC, APRC, Rally America, or just plain old club rallying.

Predominantly involved in real rallying (dirt), but have driven the 00 car in a couple of tarmac sprint events (Mt Buller and Lake Mountain) which was quite enjoyable. If I were to ever do it as a competitor it would have to be in some sort of classic high horsepower RWD car in order to get my sideways fix.

I've competed (as codriver) in the 70ies and have followed WRC ever since, spectating 3/4 events every year, collecting rally-models/book/videos...and wasting my time in here :

[Alink2]

I'm a journalist for Rally Results magazine, and cover the WRC, IRC and ERC. Plus interviews with drivers, team managers, car tests etc..

Pretty much a rally every week. Best rally of my year is still Ypres. Not as classic as the old days - my first was 1979 when Tony Pond won in a TR7 V8.

[Audimadgeoff]

I'm a photographer, motorsport journalist and pr consultant primarily, but also do all the logistics and co-ordination for Geoff Jones Motorsport.

Have assisted in organising events back home in Zimbabwe, and have recently begun competing - driving and co-driving, with a class podium on my debut.

I also do road tests and write reports for a number of motoring mags.

Over and above all of the above I am forming a junior rallying team for 2009 where we'll run a couple of 14 year olds in the UK.

So far this year I have attended over 30 rallies and numerous tests.
