Hi there,

Went along to the Historic Motorsport show today at Stoneleigh park. This show is similar to Autosport International but is more focused on historic cars.

Every year they have a live action rally stage where loads of different classic rally cars are demonstrated to the watching public. This is a superb opportunity to watch the famous Group B cars put through their paces.

A bit tricky taking pictures today due to the emmense cold, lack of sunlight and the fact that there was a large crowd which left you little room to move.

Anyway here are some of my pics: -





















Hope you like them and any C&C will be more than welcome.

Regards

Tim

Nice pics - very sharp.

You've done a good job of lighting the cars - it looks very gloomy, but the motors still look great.

Excellent work!

Hi there,

Just managed to work through a few more of my pictures.



















Also managed to get a good shot of the course car, recently launched facelifted Porsche Cayenne Turbo. This sounded superb when the driver pushed it.



Regards

Tim

Some cracking pics there, looks like I picked the wrong day to go. There was no TR7, the white Quattro, 205 or that red and white RS200 running.

I went Sunday was a awesome day out, love seeing the Group B monsters flying around.

Got to say the 205 T16 E2 is my all time favourite.

Didn't see the S4 on Sunday!!!
