Durham Fiesta Posted November 16, 2008 Report Posted November 16, 2008 just got in the house after a day following the RAC. Went down to the stages in scarborough then over to the lakes for the night stages. Can honestly say there is no better sound than a BDA powered escort flat out through a forest at night. Think i need to get some sleep now
Durham Fiesta Posted November 16, 2008 Author Report Posted November 16, 2008 just checked my phone and got loads of videos of lights and engine noises lol
stevepeanut Posted November 16, 2008 Report Posted November 16, 2008 its really odd this, I arranged to go to Olivers mount with Andy Ellis. I checked the RAC rally site to look at the entry list, and found there were 4 stages at Temple Newsam 1 mile from my house. But there was no publicity about the event up there, no signs or anything telling people it was on. Went up on Friday night, and there was 1 small sign for "spectator parking" off the main road behind the shops here. Stood watching the night stage at Temple with a bottle of jack daniels, 6 hours sleep then off the Scarborough on Saturday morning. First time I've been to a rally and it was one of the best motorsport events I've been to. A bargain at £5 too
NginEEr Posted November 16, 2008 Report Posted November 16, 2008 im off to kielder tommorow to marshal should be fun
ZetecVan 2.0 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Posted November 16, 2008 Videos I took at Temple Newsome on the night stage. You can't see much so turn the volume up! Bob Bean (who's a local to me) in his Mk1 Lotus Cortina (they may take a few minutes to appear as I've just uploaded them)
Wessie Posted November 16, 2008 Report Posted November 16, 2008 i've got about 100 ten second videos i took fo the cars coming through, wasnt a bad turnout of cars and not a bad rally. we went to scarborough for the lunchtime stages on saturday then up to the service and the stage at the industiral estate in scotland today i still recon the mcrae rally was better
