Got some pics from the rally.
Service area was good (very wet) mainly cars coming getting checked over then to their teams for a service. Pretty impressive to see a car get stripped down and fixed and built so quick.

The super special in Cardiff was a wicked night! Started off with the Suzuki cup, few people racing around in suzuki swifts, nice event to get the crowd warmed up. Then had a rally cars from the past 75yrs, started off with some vintage cars, then came the likes of stratos, lancia etc.

Had a tribute to McRae & Burns, and their championship winning cars were driven around the track. Place took the roof off at this point.

Ford did a version of the italian job, 3 fiesta st's racing around, took the rally champ trophy from a transit, did loads of stunts then came a mondeo police car and some more stunts, was really nicely put together.

Then the WRC drivers came, raced round the track, group N etc followed.

There was an astra rally car wohoo it was bio-diesel, the driver kept us entertained, ran wide on a few corners and took the barriers out!

Ye by 8:30 a lot of people had left, my friends and I stayed to about 9:30, think there was only about 3-4 cars left to race.
