WRC Germany 2011

My pics from saturday
rallysport.hu - ADAC Rally Deutschland - szombat

I’m not sure having them both in the same team is going to work. Two quick drivers sounds fine, but there simply needs to be a No1 & No2 for the good of the team. One for the Championship and wins, the other to support and step up if the No1 has problems. Maybe it could work if the Manager handles it perfectly – something Quesnel doesn’t seem able to do. If I was one of the Citroen top brass, I’d actually be slightly worried about the next 2 years – we could have an inter-team war, a la Prost/Senna.

By now, they wouldn't risk anything even having an "inter-team war"... their opponents are too far behind...

They sure are crazy, but luckily they have situated far enough on the corner. If a car had lost control in slower speed and started to slide partly off road - then it would've been goodbye.

In Finland we were spectating in a corner where 4-5 photographers stayed on the outside of the corner where top cars were slightly jumping sideways on two wheels. When security and zero cars came they all walked five metres into the bushes to hide - anyway they are there at their own risk, but shouldn't defy life. And I can tell I went to the corner because I saw great pictures from it the year before...

True, but they are not stupid. Look how the second guy is there just as a "safety guy", you can see that he has his hands wrapped around the vest of the guy shooting. Camera limits vision quite badly... The second one is there to look with his eyes and ready to pull the camera operator to safety in case of runaway car. Ofcourse outrunning a rally car with your feet sounds like... Well, nearly impossible.

My photo's from Friday an Saturday are online. I try to compleet the serie's from Sunday this evening.

it looks like he pulled him infront to absorb the impact...LOL

they could choose a smarter place to be...

and i doubt the role of the second guy is to pull the camera man out of danger.
