Top marks go to the crews of Car 18, Stefan Davies & Dafydd-Sion Lloyd @ 02:27 and Car 38, Lee Edwards & Gerwyn James @ 02:42!
(The stage was stopped early on, hence the procession of rescue vehicles at 17:11, but eventually resumed).Rallynuts Stages Rally 2023 - Best of Myherin (SS5)Rallying Sights & Sounds2023-07-12 | Got a bit of a back log of videos, with a best of from the Plains Rally and probably a video of every car from the Nicky Grist last weekend to come. Hopefully should get back to being more current in the latter half of the year, with the likes of the Woodpecker, Cambrian and RAC coming! Top Escorts from 2:30 and I think I saved the best until last with the Fiat 131 Abarth @ 3:30.North Wales Rally 2023 - Best of Dyfnant 2 (SS8)Rallying Sights & Sounds2023-03-28 | A bit of an off, a few near misses and some great hard charging!

Every 4WD to follow in a separate video.
*Apologies to the Toyota crew of car #147, who I only caught the tail end of. Sorry to have missed them as it's great to see variety out on the stages! They were going well, too quick for me to catch. ;) (I actually hadn't yet got over the noise of the Triumph TR7 V8 that had run through ahead of them (07:49)!)Riponian Rally 2023 - Mini vs MINI!Rallying Sights & Sounds2023-02-13 | Coming through!

Fastest 4WDs from (Oliver Solberg) 02:42 onwards. Apologies about the occasional in and out mono sound issue... Bit of a moment @ 07:39 for crew 57.Cambrian Rally 2022 - Alwen 1 (SS5) (Top 20 4WDs before stage stopped)Rallying Sights & Sounds2022-10-29 | Unfortunately most of the cars didn't make it though Alwen 1 due to the stage being stopped due to an accident in the stage. I also missed filming many of the pre-4WD 2WDs due to arriving late, but I caught every crew on the second run from a different spot, which will be shown in a following video, probably later in the week.Cambrian Rally 2022 - Oliver SolbergRallying Sights & Sounds2022-10-29 | Oliver Solberg was the stand out performer on the Cambrian, taking a clear victory, unfortunately somewhat aided by the absence of the recent top BRC crews. It was great to see world class driving back in the Welsh forests though, thanks for coming Oliver!
A couple of clips of him in Alwen, sorry about the mono sound on the first clip.Trackrod Rally Yorkshire 2022 - Dalby 2 (SS6) (Every Four Wheel Drive + BRC 2WD)Rallying Sights & Sounds2022-09-30 | ...Trackrod Rally Yorkshire 2022 - Dalby 2 (SS6) (Every Two Wheel Drive)Rallying Sights & Sounds2022-09-26 | Shown in reverse to the starting order.

Tom Cave and Will Atkins became the first crew to take part in a UK multi-venue stage rally in a fully electric car. Not sure what I made of it sound wise. It wasn't offensive, not desperately quiet, but I think there's room for improvement. Let me know in the comments what you made of it.
Unfortunately I didn't record the sound from the flat out approach to the chicane seen, because frankly, I didn't readily recognise what it was! But as it approached the pitch slowly rose. It reminded me a bit in hindsight of the 'Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite' bit at the end of Stanley Kubrick's 1968 film, 2001: A Space Odyssey! It's kind of the only way I can describe it!
I caught every car at this spot but I wasn't very impressed with this one, I didn't expect the chicane before the corner, which rather ruined it! But if people are interested, I could still upload something. Tarmac rallying requires better prep to get the most out of it...

4WDs from 7:40 onwards, the Top 2WDs preceded them.Nicky Grist Stages 2022 - Crychan 2 (SS8) (Every Car, except #82?) (#fullsend )Rallying Sights & Sounds2022-07-13 | Thanks to the many who gave it the full send, a nice variety of approaches throughout and few who nearly regretted it! I think I caught everyone who made it this far except #82 (who's dust you just see at @07:52, they put on a good show in the RWD Peugeot too, unfortunately), but apologies if I didn't.
As usual the opening 2WD group are at the end of the video (12:45), the first half of which are filmed from the other side of the corner, before I realised the dust really wasn't going to work for the video!Nicky Grist Stages 2022 - Crychan 1 (SS4) (Every Car)Rallying Sights & Sounds2022-07-11 | First run of Crychan in the morning. Wasn't quite the spot I'd hoped, better location in the afternoon, which will feature in the next video, coming soon.

I missed the first few cars on the first run. Second run @ 05:00 the audio was just too terrible due to the 50mph rain, plus I couldn't get to where I hoped, so I've only included event winner Jason Pritchard and a couple of 'moments' for cars 28 and 32 there. IIRC, every car from the third run is shown, from 6:12 onwards.
Conditions were challenging, so far from being my best video!Kielder Forest Rally 2022 - Bewshaugh 2 (SS5) (Every car)Rallying Sights & Sounds2022-06-19 | Every car, but with the stage opening 2WD group at the end of the video, so roughly fastest to slower.Plains Rally 2022 - Clocaenog East 1 (SS5)(Pt.2) (Top 2WDs and all 4WDs, after stage stoppage)Rallying Sights & Sounds2022-05-22 | After the cars shown in the previous video, the stage was stopped. I walked a short distance to discover Car 22 stopped, which I believe was deemed to have stopped in a dangerous position, hence why the stage was stopped? They lost the front left wheel in the compression from which I filmed the rest of the cars, when the stage recommenced. In this video, following the recovery of Car 22, the cars are shown in the order they came through. Apologies to the crew of (IIRC) Car 6, as I missed them.Plains Rally 2022 - Clocaenog East 1 (SS5)(Pt.1) (Every car from 17 to 107, pre stage stoppage)Rallying Sights & Sounds2022-05-22 | Shown in reverse, so roughly faster to slower. I missed the first few cars on the stage (end of the video), so apologies to them. The stage paused after car 17, seemingly due to car 22 being stopped on the stage, which will be shown in a following video, along with the rest of the field from a different spot.
Apologies from some of the mono sound issues on this one.Rallynuts Stages Rally 2022 - Cwmysgawen 1 (SS3) (Every Car)Rallying Sights & Sounds2022-04-10 | Every car that made it this far, in the order they came through, but with the opening lower seeded 2WD group at the end of the video.

First 2WD from 1:33 in reversed order (highest/fastest to lowest seed here), with Matt Edwards, winner of the Historics.
A couple of bumps, for Car 44 (8:33) & Car 71 (13:33) in particular, for the attention of @chopito 👍North Wales Rally 2022 - Dyfi 1 (SS2) (All but one 4WD)Rallying Sights & Sounds2022-03-27 | Only Bowler Defender entry 434 missed, as the file corrupted! So apologies to them if they see this...
Footage from the second run should be up tomorrow. See the Short I uploaded earlier for a flavour of that.
This spot was better for watching the Escorts, so I recommend watching the 2wd video I uploaded previously from here.North Wales Rally 2022 - Dyfi 1 (SS2) (Every 2WD + an assortment from Mini rally)Rallying Sights & Sounds2022-03-27 | Every 4WD from this stage/spot and footage of Dyfi 2 from another spot still to come!Rally North Wales 2022, coming soon, in full and widescreen HD...Rallying Sights & Sounds2022-03-27 | ...Malcolm Wilson Rally 2022 - Grizedale North (SS6) (Every Car)Rallying Sights & Sounds2022-03-13 | Nice entry for the first round of the BTRDA Championship. Features every car that made it this far. Just to explain the order of the clips... The order is as per the starting list, but the opening group of 2wd cars are at the end of the video, shown from the spot where the 0 Car is seen at the beginning of the video.
Unusually for me, there are three different corners featured. There was somebody already at the corner I was intending to go to originally with a proper camera, so I didn't think I'd miss anything there or serve any purpose. So, I caught the opening group from a spot instead that I think may be marked over cautiously in the supplied notes, so, I moved along the stage embankment to another corner in the gap before the fasters cars arrived, from where the bulk of the video is taken. There was then a longish delay in the running of the stage (the Spectator Control car came through again), during which time I moved a short distance along the embankment again. So that's that!
For anyone of the 600K+ who saw my video of the crash from the Riponian Rally, that car can be seen (a little less) sideways again at 4:32, in the hands of Hugh Hunter this time out, with that followed by Car 36, another Escort being driven by the Driver of that previous car on the Riponian, Meirion Evans. Thank you to him for all the video views from last time!
The thumbnail is not long after 8:21, two more quintessential examples of how Escorts can be driven!
Clips are enabled so feel free to share any footage of yourselves or others on social media, You Tube loops the footage of any chosen clip.
A number of moments to see. At 06:53, the very tail end of a crash ahead of the corner involving Car 82, a heavy impact into the bank on the straight, having seemingly just dipped a wheel off the edge of the track further back and been unable to recover it, such were the slippery conditions. Shots of the car at the end of the video at 25:49 taken after the stage had ended.
There was another 'moment' at 09:41. The crash from the previous video uploaded is at 18:37.
Running order was essentially Slower to Fastest 2WD, followed by Fastest to Slower 4WD. 10:29 - Top 40* 2WD onwards (Video thumbnail's not long after this timestamp)(*As per running order, not all 40 made it this far). 17:15 - Top 10 2WD onwards. 21:16 - Top 4WD onwards.
