Was browsing through some vid clips on youtube of the rally of mallorca, and saw this viper green 911 with British plates wondered if it was a DDK members?

and the clip with it in action great viewing

What a great video. Just when you thought it couldn't get any better a Group B SWB quattro and an 037 make an entrance!

Crikey, that quattro looks a handful

Wasn't it great

Wheels in the air, full blooded slides and it's fair to say it's putting out a couple of Bhp...

I love the way it pitches under braking & acceleration - must be forest springs under it, surely? I'd be

if i was in there with him!

The green Porsche I believe was Sean Lockyear who has an entry for 2010. This event is similar to events such as Boucles de Spa where they have two categories, competition, where the average speed is set to 80km/h and regularity where the average speed is set to 50km/h. The big difference to UK events is that the can close the roads. Boucles de Spa has an added ingredient in that the roads are often snow covered. The cars on the You Tube video were in the competition category.
Noise does not seem an issue unlike the UK!!
Wonderfull sites and sound. Now how about a holiday in Mallorca next March!

Thanks for the info, on the car and rally, i will be watching this in the flesh in 2010 as i'm moving to the island

I would love to enter it but that's a couple of years off have to find and restore the car yet

Yes the guy who posted the video clip on youtube has a multitude of porsche clips from several years of this rally including 356's, 911's, 914/6 etc well worth looking up his others. Here's his profile

The group b cars were fantastic, and what a sound track, but also did you see the escort at the max, quite something to see.

There: A real hillclimb.

What great footage and fab cars, all of them.

The RSR's are magic and how I wish we could hillclimb here on the UK in this way, open pipes and all.

Makes you want to cut your steel narrow body wings and get welding...

Was the Viper Green RSR on webers?
All that spitting/backfire is how my car is, and the noise of that nearly stopped me hillclimbing this year.

Thought i had found it, but it's not the same one. Maybe Sean Lockyear has another viper green rally car?

Dirk, have you got pictures up anywhere of this "1970 911 S TARGA LHD. HERE AT LAST BUT RUSTY AS ****! " ?

According to the 2010 entry list the car on Piston Heads is the one he is down to use. He won Tour Brittannia in another car a 911 3.0RS (yellow) which I belive is also up for sale. Quite possible the car in the video was sold.

Would love to see it, i'm leaning towards a 1970 "S" (year i was born) or a 356 for my resto project, but the 70' "S" seems to be a bit thin on the ground.

The Group B cars were courtesy of Slowly Sideways, organized, I believe, in this case by Rob Whitehouse (in the dark blue 037) who lives there. I hope to be joining them in 2010, but probably not in Mallorca as it's so early in the year, but I will be at WRC Rally Germany and Catalunya.
