MSA Rally 2000
The MSA Rally was graced with pretty good weather yesterday, as 63 crews gathered for the start in Grantham. I watched the first 10 cars off the start ramp, at the new sports complex, close to the city center. Then headed off to watch the first two stages (SS1+2) at Barkston Heath airfield, just north of Grantham (MR130/958410). The Astra kit cars were really flying. The sequential gearboxes working hard, as both cars made short work of the 2.47 mile stages. Next, I went down to SS4 Morkery Wood, just off the A1, south of Grantham (MR130/954193) This was listed as a no-spectator access area, but where theres a will... Unfortunately the stage had to be shortened, because of slippery conditions through the wood. So I then headed off to Belvoir Castle for SS6. Parking at MR130/837330, I managed to bypass the queues, and the £5 entry fee, and watched 40 cars take a chicane at very high speed. Here are some pictures from the start in Grantham and the Barkston and Belvoir Castle stages.
