I went to the ceremonial start of Rally of Melbourne, which took place at Fed Sqaure in the CBD fyi. I had a good time there, managed to speak to a few drivers, took in excess of 100 pics, and managed to get some good videos, and managed to get some pretty good autographs! Here are some of the pics I took, btw Photobucket shrunk my pics which were 2048*1536 and 1600*1200, if you want these in high-res, PM me! Give me a little while to upload all the pics Autograph signing, sorry about the shaky camera work. I was fiddling around with posters, magazines and my camera, plus I left the flash off the camera...autographs signed by Spencer Lowndes, Chris Randell, Brad Goldsbrough, Paul Humm, Scott Pedder, Glenn Weston The Evans duo, very friendly people I might add ! Back to looking at cars... I'll post some more pics tommorow

Some great pics youve took there. Will you be going to the stages as well as the ceremonial start? It would be great to see some pics of the cars in action. The Evans duo, very friendly people I might add ! Nice to see him wearing an RFC Timson Team Racing cap

Oh and here are some autographs I managed to pick up yesterday Signed by Spencer Lowndes, Chris Randell, Brad Goldsbrough, Paul Humm, Simon Evans, Sue Evans, Scott Pedder and Glen Weston (note how Scott Pedder underlined the EVO) Signed by Cody Crocker, Dean Herridge and Julia Rabbett. Unfortunately I didn't get Juha Kangas' autograph as I didn't have a pen for him and I had to borrow a pen to get Julia's autograph.

Thats a lot of images Its a shame you can't go to some of the stages. It looks like it could be a good rally. Vivski, don't you also live in Melbourne? Will you be going?

I've just enjoyed a great weekend in the forest. I went on road closure duty on Saturday with a mate and then went spectating with Dad today (Father's Day). Got some really good video and my mate and Dad took some good photos too. I'll be making a DVD of the footage I got so I can distribute it to the local drivers (who really appreciate the coverage... good for sponsorship). I like to hang around and film all the cars, 'cos A) they're just as exciting and B) they're the ones who need the footage and exposure.
Simon Evans (my fav driver) drove the wheels off the little (and LOUD!) Carolla to win Heat 1, but missed out on Heat 2 by 5 seconds. The win for Crocker gives him the championship for 2005. A great performance.
Pity you didn't get out to the forest, you missed out. But there's always next year!
I'll post a couple of pics now, but most will have to wait until tomorrow, 'cos it's getting late.

I agree with matt, great action shots ::thumbsup:: I'm not sure why, but I particulary like this one - ClickWe have a lot of images on this page! If anyone else has some more images they wish to share from Rally Melbourne please post a link to the image rather than displaying it.

That pic's my new wallpaper.
I would have posted links, but it's easier to see them when they're all there in a row.

Excellent pics Vivski! I am an absolute fan of the surface at Rally Melbourne, it would certainly make for a great WRC event...
