WRC NZ 2012

[Wozza]

Took a few days off work to roadtrip up and get to this event. Awesome to see the pro's on local dirt - man they take fast to a new level. Had a few issues trying to keep ahead of the rally and get good spectator points so it was a hell of a learning curve, but I did get a couple of decent (but not as many as I hoped) snaps.

C+C appreciated

Managed to get a spot away from the marshals to get close on a high banked inside corner.

Good to see a Ford Escort in the mix - Still the first car that comes to my mind when I think classic rallying.

A bit further back with the 200mm. Tried to get a bit of the crowd/atmosphere in the shot. First time the WRC mini's have been to NZ.

Shooting into the sun with a slightly sideways pan of Ken Block.

I was very relived to find a spot the cars were getting airborne for a slightly more dramatic shot. Got a few solid shots from here.

4 is the strongest one for me in this set.

Nicely done; I like #s 2& 5.
