RallyRUS photo report:At the world's southern end Â…

How to fight a constant flow of day-to-day life which becomes slower and swampy with every passing year? To rush without thinking to a long journey taking with you only essentials…

Where was it? Fantastic pics! Would like to do such a trip once a day as well... Great!

It was the 6th round of the Russian Rally Cup in Tuapse, the town situated on Black sea, 100 km to the west from Sochi. There are some really great rallies in Russia this year, so if you like I can tell you about them.

First of all, rally Russia 2008, WRC candidate and IRC round (Saint-Petersburg-Vyborg region). Very nice and very compact gravel RusRC round Gukovo 2008 (120 km to the north from Rostov-na-Donu, 1000 km to the south from Moscow).

And of course, the best rally weekend will be in October - one weekend there will be the final round of RusRC in Novorossijsk, and next weekend - gravel final race of Cup and Mitsubishi monocup in Tuapse, also on Black sea, 200 km from one town to another! Its 23 degrees water here in October, we swim 10 times a day, its 25 degrees air and only local people - all the hotels are empty from tourists.

I'm go to all these rallies with my pine-tree :) and I can try to help to organize the visit to Russian rally. At least there are 6 seats in Nakhapetobus, we use usually 3 of them :)

From Baltic to Black Sea

His call was unexpected as always and he was concise.
- What are you doing on week-end?
- Don’t know yet.
- Do you want an adventure?
- I am listening…
- Let us go to Tuapse!?
That was the way the story began.

Rally - it's first of all people. Drivers, servicemen, spectators, photographers as well... :) If you please I'd like to show you gallery of Paul Nizkin, (I hope) our new RallyRUS journalist and photographer.

I called it "Face control"
