Anyway, had a good day yesterday, but one of my worst days for photography in a long time. For some reason I was really struggling to get any shots that I was happy with. Even panning shots (usually my 'go to' style when I can't think of anything else) weren't coming out very well. Managed to finally get a few decent ones on the last stage when we watched by a jump...although it felt like cheating by putting it on auto focus and continuous shooting
Mel Evans was clearly going to win it or bin it, completely on it all day and just looked streets ahead of anyone else. The one other driver that really impressed was a red Nova, only saw him once through Stage 3 over Deer's and he was fully committed. I commented to the old man about not expecting to see him again, sadly I turned out to be right.
One final special mention for the dickhead car park marshall that instructed us to park on the left about 1 mile from Dixie's, and then proceeded to walk off from his post. What really ****ed me off was that we passed about 20-30 spaces between where he was stood and the stage. If he hadn't been there then he would have saved an awful lot of us a big load of effort (especially returning to the car to move over the other side for Stage 6). I actually parked further away for this event than I did for Rally GB, all because some car park bloke wasn't paying attention.
Anyway, pics:

Walked Dixies, down the Steps towards the stage start. It was only once i had walked to Picadilly that i remberd how far the car was. About 4 mile back, mainly up hill. My legs are aching today lol.
Video will follow, when youtube is done uploading. Only 900 mins left lol
Also i have seen some dull spectators , but lying down on the outside of a steep downhill adverse camber fast right hander, below road level. Between Bartons jump, and Devils going towards Dixies. Well this is why rallying on Epynt hangs by a thread.

A fantastic days Rallying, and the organisers even sorted out the weather....
Agree with some of the points raised; got there about 7:40, and expected to park at Dixies, on the grass verge were I normally park. Instead we were instructed to park on the road?????, when there were plenty of spaces at Dixies??.
As for some of the speccies; oh dear, having been told not to stand on the right hand side of the stage after a jump (Barton's, I think) None of them moved.....and some even lying in a ditch to take photos....
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???
