Any chance we can get a link to higher resolution versions? I'm especially interested in the shots of the Lancer(s).

Yeah, the Capri was easily the most amazing car competing. Full coilovers, endless brakes, massive skidplates, and some euro cosworth engine. Totally nuts, and full rally gear inside. Suffered a little battle damage when the driver lost it into the woods, but not bad. Since he was going to lose he stopped in the spectator area and did a massive burnout. Pretty awesome!

And sorry, those are about the max res. None of my friends know how to take decent pictures, so that's all you get. Good news is I have 20 gigs of 1080 footage that I'm editing this week to throw up, so I'll post that when it's done.

Looks like an awesome time. I hope to go to a rally some day. It seems like it's picking up in the US (thanks to Ken Block maybe?).

Maybe. I think it's just more of the "younger" generation becoming adults. People 15-30 didn't really grow up watching nascar, they grew up playing gran turismo, watching WRC, and cars that turn both directions.

Hmm, good call. I hadn't thought of it that way.

Those cars don't look very good, and definitely not very fast.

Fast shutter speeds will do that. Of course this sort of rally is SUPPOSED to generate tons of muck and turn all the cars yucky brown-which is part of the fun, I think.

Pretty cool rally, Rob. Thanks for sharing.
