What a fun day out...
NEC was the major sponcer of the event and me being a major reseller of there products i got a couple of corperate tickets for yesterday. So we drove about 2 hours to get to the town of imbul and might i say it was quite a nice drive.
Once there we parked and got a shuttle bus down to the event stages. Once arriving at the corperate box and discovering there was a jump right in front of us. The beer was chilling and the porta potties were close by. I took the mrs with me on this event and a couple of the boys from work.
Then came along one of the rally car drivers to come up and bush sholders with the corperate folks. While this was happening i went for a little walk to check out the course and might i say it looked hard on the cars and drivers. Once i returned we had a roast lunch and a few more beers and a glass or two of red wine.
Then out comes the course car and bang we are into the group A cars... I thought the other cars were fast, but i was wrong. The toyota Corolla team car hit the jump at about 120kph and landed 20 metres down the road and then the lancer and then the ford focus... WOW...
Here are some of the better photos from the day.
I had a ball and wish i got some hot laps. The WRX i was surposed to go in broke its front tail shaft and ended up being towed. But the rest of my group had heaps of fun.
Pic enjoy.
