Yep, spent last weekend driving every single stage the WRC's will be running, shooting from private property on Friday, going to all the Super Special stages and will try and shoot the cars on up to 4 passes each saturday and sunday. Should be crazy.

^^^ Sounds freaking awesome.
Look forward to some great pics!

Anyone watch the 7:30 Report (ABC, NSW).
Had a good segment about greenies/hippies trying to stop the event.
Fucking twats. Hopefully one of them gets splatted by a WRC car @ full blast.

I'll be out in the forest sucking dust as a road block on Friday, hopefully I will get put on a corner as I will have our slr with me. I'll probably be hanging around service park and Speed on Tweed on the Saturday.

Cool! Sounds good, the more pics the better, I am staying 5 minutes out of Kingscliffe with my in laws as of tomorrow night till sunday night, we've been doing a shitload of preparation for this event and I can't believe it's finally here.

By the way, anyone that is going to be around the area, if you see a Prius (yes you read that correct) with number plates WRC on it, come up and say g'day.

How very "Greenie" friendly of you.
I'll be in my 4 litre petrol devouring, going to be supercharged one day prado!

Haha noice. Yeah it was the choice of the Prius, or an E85 munching stroked Evo (that's what the plates are usually on) we thought with all the greenies out to sabotage the events, if we come up behind a bongo van blocking the road they'll see we're in a hybrid and think we're on a way to a protest. Soon as we fly (lol) past with the KERS going they'll see the WRC plates and realise they've been had hahaha. Of course the WRC plates will also give us street cred with the rally folk that might otherwise suspect us for being greenies lol. Win Win.

ah i wish i was going (read competing), but not this year..

Ive got a number of mates competitng too Dre, i think that Richard Mason may be a tad quicker than them, he should go okay on the fast roads, they look a lot like NZ!!

[SakeMan]

Indeed, we were saying on our recce drive on Saturday and Sunday that the scenery looks a lot like NZ in places, beautiful countryside.

Here are some pics from our drive, these are the actual stages that the WRC will run on, the below shots are mostly from the Kyogle area.















Even though there has been a lot of press coverage that the people don't want this rally, plenty of people welcome it with open arms...




Our recce vehicle, will be swapped to a TME for the weekend so we can get around the place more in the spirit of things haha.


Service park at Kingscliff was starting to come alive on sunday, would be pretty much in full swing now, I am heading down from brisbane tomorrow early arv, will be there in time for sunset shots, should be cool, then 3 days of Marathon photoshooting. Should be insane. Will post up images next week from the actual event.

god i wish i was going to be there

[rob323]

I've got to be at Kyogle at 4:50 am Friday morning, so that means leaving home no later than about 2 am. Looks like it's going to be a 6 pack trip. A six pack of V that is.

[SakeMan]

Haha I hear ya! We are going to be leaving just before the WRC cars on Friday morning, we are keen to get some shots of them en route to Kyogle. We thought about trying to shoot them on Cob o' Corn, but schedule is too tight to get back to our shooting position for the day which is along Byrill Creek Road. We'll be there all friday, then back into Murwillumbah for Friday night. Then we get to do that all over saturday and sunday. Heaven.

[GVR40]
