The Mcklein rally photos are amazing. they have such a huge archive dating all the way back to the early 1900's.

@ Rich, Alex was trying to illustrate the point that WRC is not as crazy sitting-in-the-mud-for-twelve-hours as Rod might think it is, and that if he is not willing to check it out then he had better stick to car shows like HIN (those are his words, not mine). So not really a comparison.

But yeah Rallye events are by far my favourite motorsport events to go to, i've been to four now, and it's really not that bad! For one of them it was up 2hrs north of Ottawa in early February, that was one of the longest days of my life to be sure, but the race itself was very exciting. I got to the venue, found a spot, carved out a snow-chair and i was ready to rock! No 10-dollar beers, no hype men, and the best part of all you could even walk around during the service and meet the drivers. If i had the chance to go to a proper WRC event, i would drop EVERYTHING and do it. I suggest you should too, Rod ;)

taking kickass photos = bandwagon jumping? This must be the longest bandwagon known to man than. Anyways awesome pics, its amazing how they are so clear and crisp while still being action shots

I went to the last Rally of Wales, my first WRC ever:- it was a really excellent. Completely different to going to a track, for a 'normal' motorsports event. Much more interactive, you have to do a lot of driving an mapreading etc to get to the special stages. Really good fun.

While I just shoot right now my local rally X, I hope some day to shoot a Rally America ,CRS, or WRC event.

And looking at the conditions, as a former member of the US Army Corps of Engineers, all I can say is I have been in worse and at least with photography I can have a beer at the end of the day.

I definitely would love to go to either German WRC or the one in Japan

If you're not willing to hike to a WRC event, due to the "grueling" condition those photographer have to sustain.....how can you call yourself a true-hardcore fan?

I don't like shooting, besides, there is seem to be a trend these days about being a kickass photographer. Too many people on the same bandwagon......lame.

Anyway, if you want to stay "urbanite"....there is always HIN.

Rod it isn't as bad as you think, especially if you are only shooting the top guys or something - you have to "chase" them round the stages! And not all the rallies are in the back end of nowhere!

I wouldn't be too worried about photographing close to the action either, you won't find any more skilled drivers in the world than in the WRC. happens, but peoples crash on circuits plenty aswell, and rocks don't appear on the racing line there, or the track doesn't get worse every time a car does a lap.
