Pics 2 and 3 for me. Love the car body roll and wheel angle in number three. Brilliant shot. Number to shows creativity and the fauna borders the oncoming vehicle nicely.

Thanks for your feedback. I was stoked with #2 because thats how it came out the camera (no edits - just resize for web & watermark). #3 was one of the last shots I took for the weekend and just saw an opportunity to be a little creative - required a bit of PP to get the desired effect, but happy with it.

Nice set.
You must be keen to sit/stand on the edge of the road near corners :mrgreen:

Keen yes. Sit - no! but always try to look for a solid tree and always have an escape plan!

A great set, I really have to admit that #1 appeals to me the most, something about all the trees.

Yes very keen for you to be up so close....Rally is one of the few sports where you can still get close I hear

Im no accredited photographer so these were all taken in the designated spectator areas! Having said that with so much forest around, there really isn't anyone stopping you from having a wander. Its great to get so close, but at the same time I am always mindful of my positioning...for example you don't want to be this guy standing on the stump! (which was the apex of that hairpin)
