I noticed that the post on the hairpin was missing (apart from a small stump covered in a traffic cone). I am not sure what happened to the post.

I am not sure if everyone knew about the procession because car 27 came screeching around the hairpin almost hitting car 24. |
|
Fortunately they managed to stop just in time... maybe they were just being exuberant?. At the end of the procession as a sign of respect there was a balloon release and then the next rally stage started. |
|
Car 1, a Hyrundai Accent WRC with a 1998cc engine driven by John Stone / Lee Carter was the first car around the circuit. I noticed that the post on the hairpin was missing (apart from a small stump covered in a traffic cone). I am not sure what happened to the post. |
|
Car 4, a Darrian T9 (2400 CC) driven by Rob Dick / Barry Green got into difficulties and was forced to retire. |
|
Car 26 was a BMW M3 driven by Andy Leech and John Simkiss. I don't remember seeing a BMW in any previous races. |
|
Car 42, a Talbot Sunbeam (1998cc) driven by Malcolm Boyd and J McCaffery spun completely round when applying the hand brake at the hairpin. |
|
Some of the drivers were fiercly competitive. See how close car 43 (Ford Escort Mk2 1993cc) got to car car 45 (Morris Mini 1052cc). |
