http://www.rallyepics.at/bilder/rall...17ypernrallye/

must say i was a bit dissapointed how difficult it was to work as fotografer in belgium....

but the rallye itself was great and spectacular, the service park is the best i have ever seen and belgium as a country is very interesting with a lot of historic places!

Why? Some people prefer fast places rather than slow corners and hairpins. It's good to have some alternative. I found this video more interesting for me than a video from several different T-crossings...

I also prefer faster places, but not straights... Generally I like diversity.

That's the reason I never even thought about spectating a rally in Belgium. Many people had bad opinion about stupid safety rules.

I wasn't also very confidend about the places I visited (not very familiar with Ypres). So we share the opinion a bit. ;)
But with the S2000's fast places are much better then slow, they don't have enough power :P

Thanks to the others for the reactions.

Anyway, very poor performance of Abarth.
They must consider Gardemaister for Rally Russia.It's obvious that Basso has no chance in Russian gravel.
I feel sorry for Abarth. At the start of this year we were expecting some legendery rivalary action between peugeot and abarth but they are nowhere near.
Thanks to skoda we can see some proper competition.

Yeah pitty about Abarth. Hope they can regain some speed very soon.

@WRC1: this was a very nice spot on top of the 'hill':

You can see the famous jump from there as well... :D

Well I’ve finally recovered from two rallies and countless miles in 1 weekend…

was a weird rally – everyone raved so much about the place that I guess my expectations were pretty high,
I really enjoyed it, and the action was fierce and the people friendly, but why oh why soooo much red tape!!!
Anyway, a small selection of my photos…[
