Lloret de Mar - Costa Brava Rally.

Pictures from Saturday 21st October, with good conditions for the rally....

This week-end in Lloret was the '54 Costa Brava Rally' event for the Spanish and Catalan championships...

The main base for the cars was up near the Olympic Hotel where all the cars taking part could be seen, although these cars were on show outside the Town Hall. They were drawing lots of attention from passers-by, with every one wanting to take photo's.
