VI Rally Clasico Isla Mallorca.

Thursday evening, Friday, and Saturday, I managed to get my three days of petrol head fix, on this motorsport vacum of a rock!
Hope you like the pictures.

Cheers! I've hundreds! (I took over 600 last year over the 3 days)
But the final one for tonight......
Even though there was a HUGE sign at the beginning of the closed road section......
Spot the idiots...........



Unfourtunately, we are inundated with these Road Lice from the spring, right through the summer. It really spoils the fantastic driving roads we have in the mountains here.

I'll post more later. (Of the cars, not the idiots )

Cheers,
Mick.

There was some rallying going on in Feb when I was there, was on a fieldtrip however so only managed one shot of this Renault 5 Turbo 2.

Here's a shot of the ex Jeam-Luc Therier, Simo Lampinen, Per Eklund Group 4 TR7 V8.
Now owned by a guy called Steve Rockingham.



Last year, there where a couple of group B Lacia Rallye 037's. Sadly didn't come over this year.

Nice pics chap

Somehow seems strange to see rally cars in hot sunny weather when you were used to seeing them in damp, drizzly forests

[soad]

Gosh that looks good - many thanks for sharing.

[mickrick]

Thanks for the kind comments chaps.
I think the roads of Mallorca would suit the TR7 better, as I understand it wasn't too good on the loose stuff?
I had a good chat with Steve Rockingham before he started the second Pollensa to Campanet run, and also his Co Driver, none other than Yvonne Mehta, wife of the late Shekhar Mehta! What a surprise to meet rally legends on our little rock in the Med!
Thoroughly nice approachable people too.
Last year we had the Top gear team here filming the Classico, you may have seen it on the Telly?
