Its my Motorsport. A fabulous collection of information for the motorsport animal.

So much information is one place, and its good information at that. Someone has taken a huge amount of time to compile this and the great graphics that go with it make a site you have to add to your favorites list.

WELL!!! Go there now and have a long look. 11/10


And another great Rallying website

April 18, 2006

Rallye Info.ComCreated by dedicated rally fans who have turned a passion into a hobby – not overnight, and nor are they rally experts. Rallying is a sport of passion often too comercialised at the highest level. Rallye-info.com is a place where the grass-roots passion for the sport can be shared.

Take a look.


Great new rallying photo archive

April 18, 2006

Whilst trawling through some old nostalgic rallying notes, I thought I would just stick a few of the names I found into Google's search, and low and behold I came across this great photo archive going back years and years.

The site is called club photo.

Road RalliesAmongst the member pages I came across this little gem. Its not just road rally photos, there are literally hundreds of different photos to view.

I recommend you take a look.

Subaru basedATV

Can you believe this, the most outrageous quad vehicle on this or any other planet for that matter.

Built around a Subaru STi rally car motor – with 228 bhp pushing along just 530 kg, the STi-ATV is the result of thousands of hours of work by New Zealand Motorsport enthusiast Ken Brough. Why did he build it? “Why not?”, says Ken, who will make the vehicle available for demonstrations and auto shows.


Get-A-Map TM

February 27, 2006

OS MapsGet-a-map is a free mapping service from Ordnance Survey. You can search for maps anywhere in the UK simply by entering the place name, full postcode or National Grid reference – and print the maps or copy them for use on your personal or business web site (with some restrictions).

By using this service you are deemed to have agreed to the Get-A-Map terms and conditions.
Do you know your National Grid reference? Discover what it is, along with other frequently asked questions in our Get–a–map Help & FAQs.

I find this service really useful for locating marshal points for local motor club rallies, without having to invest in maps that I don’t have or need on a regular basis.

Why not not try it for yourself, HERE…


FIRST PIC: Suzuki SX4 WRC ‘Concept’ car.

Suzuki SX4 'Concept' Car

Following the departure of Peugeot, Mitsubishi and Skoda from the World Rally Championship at the end of last season, it is encouraging to see Suzuki release the first picture of their SX4 WRC ‘concept’ car, which will go on display at the Geneva Motorsport Show in late February.

In times when the rally scene look a bit sad, if this has half the spectator value of the recent Ignis/S1600 cars, then the sooner it reaches the stages the better.

Don’t you just love those screaming engines?
