AH! Ok, I misinterpreted the perspective and assumed that the splash was a bit further on. Assumed the steam/spray was simply a large puddle.
So if Hirvonen went off just after that ... good grief! Half way up the bank might be OK but the guys who were probably standing at the side of the track to get the splash head on might have been energised somewhat. If they kept the cameras rolling there ought to be some good shots ..

Thats a great shop an it just happens to be friend of mine 
Really? Cool! If you see him, congratulate him! He put in a great performance and got a lot of support from the crowds. People were letting air horns off for him in Walters Arena. I've been reading his blog and it's a real eye opener.Steve

Blimey. That's a good advert for the under dogs!!
Any chance of EXIF data for the first two please?
Thanks! It seemed to get good reviews and I thought what the heck, for £70 I don't mind it getting wet and muddy. It's been my main lens for rallies since I got it.Any chance of EXIF data for the first two please?
If you want to see EXIF, Flickr actually shows it - go to Flickr click a pic and then look for "more properties" in the menu on the right hand side. The "Lens type" entry seems to be gibberish but the rest is OK. If the lens length is 55-200 it's the Tamron. The 18-55 is the Canon kit lens and the 100-300 is the Canon AF lens.

A couple more pics from today. Was a great rally despite the stage cancellations. Lots of fights in all the classes and the Loeb/Latvala battle was fantastic. Good to see Loeb being pushed for a change 
Anyone else got any pics? My hit rate is still quite poor, I only get decent photos from car 10 onwards which is a shame. I'm always still getting my eye in when the top drivers go by.
I love the fact that you can get among the cars and drivers in this sport. I followed Tony Jardine over the A4069 mountain road last night (which is a great twisty road). He wasn't rushing at all but I still had to work to keep up! Awesome just seeing how smooth he was.

Great pics from both of you
There's a lot of people knocking the WRC and there will be a lot more discussion to come about the stage cancellations but speaking for myself I had a great time.
Massive committment from a lot of the drivers and plenty of thrills and spills. The sunshine of the last two days didn't hurt either
