    The second run of the Stages at Sardegna starts between 7 and 8 pm which lets the rallye action appear in the golden glow of the slowly setting sun.

  • Little Trabant adventures

    Something different in between the rallye action pics. I took a model of a Trabant 601 with me and thought it would be fun to involve it in my photography on random occasions.

     

    Btw: Jan Kopecky is passing by with his brand new Skoda Fabia R5 in the background. Taken on SS23 – Cala Flumini 2.

    Not that you think I did the trip just for fun, beach and culture. This is the reason why I was there. Being in the middle of round 6 of this years FIA World Rallye Championship.

    This one was taken on Monte Lerno, near Buddusò high up in the mountains of Sardegna at the end of day 2.

  • Seaside road trippin’

    This one was taken at then end of our additional day. Before the Rallye action got us, we had a day off to enjoy culture (visiting a vinery) and beach fun. Before we went up the mountains to get to Friday’s first stage, we had dinner in Marina di Bosa. The photo was taken when leaving Bosa later on.

  • Rally d’Italia Sardegna here I come!

    Last weekend was the time of the year again. The annual trip to a FIA World Rallye Championship run in outdoor and road trip style. After a few years of driving to the German round around the city of Trier it was not enough and we spread our wings and flew to the toughest round of the year, the Acropolis Rallye of Greece. Since two years, the so called “Rallye of Gods” is unfortunately not part of the WRC calendar anymore and we switched to the mediterranean island of Sardegna in 2014. And so we did this year.

    And this is how an aviation nerd starts documenting a trip. AZ407 from Frankfurt to Rome as we descent into Fiumicino Airport.
