THE DAY 2 CHALLENGE

To photograph 16 Castles along the Rhine, as close to some example photographs we have been given!

- - - STOP PRESS - - - 09.40hrs UK Time - - -

Car 46 currently in 6th place after Day 1

- - - STOP PRESS - - - 11.20hrs UK Time - - -

Now passed Bingen am Rhein and have managed to photograph 14 of the 16 Schloss (Castles) en route.

- - - STOP PRESS - - - 15.15hrs UK Time - - -

Arrived in Bregenz, Austria - 330 miles, got 14 of the 16 Castles photographed - very heavy roadworks on the Autobahns, but all in all a good trip. Beautiful views. Weather dry but overcast. 1st arrivals, ahead of Motoscape again! Ed.note - this is NOT a race :-)

Rallyinfo - We have not yet received a full report apart from the Stop Press News published above. Alex & Dan are spending this evening checking over the car, particularly brakes and cooling system, as tomorrow (to Cortina in the heart of the Italian Dolomite Mountains) is going to be a tough stage.

The area around Bolzano and Cortina is full of high mountain passes, rising to upwards of 2,000 metres (over 6,000 ft) with tight, tight and often blind hairpins that need to be negotiated with precision if you're going to get around in one go and not take off one of the front sides of the car against the rocky walls.

Image Right - Sella Pass

So we're looking forward to some spectacular photographs and tales of deering-do! and hope you are enjoying some of the new images that are beginning to come in and uploaded. Quite a few of the earlier reports (Pre-Rally onwards) have been updated, image-wise, and the Gallery has 2 pages as a starter. Good Luck to Car 46 for tomorrow.

Stop-Press: We've just been informed the Results of today's Challenge will be announced after tomorrows Stage - it's going to take some time to evaluate the photographs collected by the competitors and to judge them against the example images they were given to try and emulate.
