We didnt make it to Walters Arena but saw Valentino Rossi and other drivers in a petrol station and had to stop!













Next day we went to Resolven.













Then the Last day was Port Talbot.

Cheers

Rossi finished 12th overall which I thought was pretty good. He started off very slowly and was getting quicker and quicker. Infact he out performed people with a lot more rally experience than him

Great pics mate,

I went a few years ago and loved it, anyone who's never been but has a slight interest should do it. Loads of walking and bastard cold but a brilliant experience.

Will do it again but stay the weekend next time and enjoy it more. All in a day is ruined by having to hammer between stages and you miss a lot.

As you say mate it can be cold and a bit if a trek but every petrol head should see a WRC car being driven flat out by the worlds best. You cant believe how much grip and power these cars have. The british national guys are quick, but they cant even get near the Suzukis of the WRC!

I also read that WRC cars are soon going to be ditched in favour of cheaper and slower s2000 rally cars so thats definitely a great excuse to go next year

Absolutely the control they have at those speeds and the noise echoing through the forest. The sound of a WRC car popping away while hammering through the welsh forests is the nuts.

For me the forest stages were better than the Super special on the docks. As you say every petrol head should do it. Along with Le Mans - hopefully tick that one off next year.
