The Basque rallying championship started at the last weekend

[Ford Capri 2.8i]

Hi folks

Although two months is very little time for checking, improving, updating, testing, whatever...a rallying car (for instance it lasted two months from the last 2005 rallying race to the first 2006 event), actually the basque country championship looks really good considering that we are talking about a regional championship and some rallying cars werent presented because they arent ready to be driven

Nonetheless lets mention the most relevant cars

First of all, the new Santi Artetxe´s adquisition; a 2005 ex-Marcus Gronholm´s pug 307 WRC





An ex-works, upgrated and inmaculate Ford Escort WRC (its wouldnt be strange if the car has the focus WRC´s spare parts); IMO its the most beautiful car from the basque rallying champioship







Another Ford Escort WRC although its not as accurately assembled as the previous one, but a WRC car at the end of the day





A full grA specs 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VIII





A full grA specs Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI





A five month old full grN specs Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VIII



An ex-TTE and World Rallying Championship Toyota Celica Gt-4 grA



An awesome Renault Maxi 5 Turbo look Renault 5 Tour de Corse 1600cc (although the owner is waiting for even better spare parts)



A BMW M3 E36 grA (the engine is prepared by Delage Sport)





A couple of good and powerful grA specs Ford Sierra Cosworth





An ex-works Renault Maxi Megane Evo II



An ex-works Fiat Punto S1600



Another ex-works S1600 (Citroen Saxo)



and then here we go some cars in order to get some great fun such as the rear wheel drive BMW 325i





Followed by the hot hatches

Lets begin with the efficient C2 VTS





Or the grN Renault clio RS



The Citroen Saxo VTS



The Citroen AX GTI



The pug 205



The Renault Clio Williams



A grA specs Seat Ibiza GTI 16v



Naturally we cant understimate the Renault 5 Gt Turbo, can we dani?



As the final pics, here we go the classic cars which took part in the rally as well
