Hi!
I've returned home from South Urals rally, RusRC round. It took few days to take best photos and to make my mega-ural-gallery. So, it's ready. Big pity not to meet our French friends on the rally - the competition was wonderful. Far? Yes, 1700 km from Moscow to East, but for what is life if not to seek adventures? 2500 km from Saint-Petersburg to Satka I've done in 3 days alone, sleeping in my Taurus Wagon and in small motels...
Anyway 5500 km behind. I did it!

Great Alex, that you are keeping us informed about what is going on in your championship. It looked as a great adventure once again. Keep up the good work, because if not from you, we don't know too much about Russian rallying. ;)

Where excatly was the Ural rally? I'm currently in Ekaterinburg, I've been here all August and I can't believe I missed a rally so close to me?
-
It was not so close to E-burg (as they call the city) - in half a thousand km to the South, in the town of Bakal (you can find it on the map, it is situated in few kilometres from M5 federal road, right in the middle between Ufa and Chelyabinsk...
No matter - next round will be in Gukovo (Rostov-na-Donu region) on 5-7 of September. The best rally for spectators: deep fords through the rivers, jumps, sharp turnes... and songs playing guitar sitting near the fire drinking beer under the bottomless night sky... So, it's very nice rally, and I'm starting there on the 1st of September.
But of course the best rally to see is Novorossiysk (26-28 of September). Unbelievable rally on the Black Sea, when water is 22 and air 25... And just the next weekend after Novoross - rally Tuapse (in 200 km, also on the Black sea). Two weeks of rallying on the seaside? It's dream, and I'm going to do it reality for myself and my family and friends.
Welcome to Russia! :)
