Acropolis Rallye 2008 review

Journal Entry: Mon Jun 9, 2008, 8:35 AM
So, now I've time to write some words about this years Acropolis Rallye of Greece.

At first: WOW - what an amazing event again!

Like every year I had 5 really nice days in Greece, which is a great country with so kind people. Those 5 days were full with rallye action, fun, swimming in the sea, walking in the sun, a lot of Mythos beer, sleeping under stars and good greek food.

This year was my first visit to the Psatha special stage and I was on a sharp hairpin with a view over Psatha bay. A great place to be and a great place for making pictures.
So you can see my favourite photo from this place here:

Mikko Hirvonen

Day 2 was at Agii Theodori again. I knew this place from last year and it was a good place for taking pictures with nice looking shapes of flying gravel. So my favourite photo from this year's Agii Theodori is:

Frederico Villagra

When you're doing camping on a gravel rallye like in Greece, it is important to have a shower or something like that. Unfortunately, the showers on the beach of Loutraki were still out of service. So these 5 days were quite hard. Getting dust on the stage and washing in the sea in the evening. Day by day you're only replacing the dust with salt from the sea on your skin.

Day 3 was like the year before at Agii Sortira. I didn't rework all good pictures, so I couldn't show you a photo from there now. Maybe later.

So you can see, it was fun to go there and to make the pictures - but it's hard too. Really hot in the sun. But I like greek food and for that I love the small village Stefani in the Mountains near Elefsina. They have the best Taverna in Attika there in my oppinion. :-)

btw: I was on TV on Eurosport! The camera catched me during Petters jubilations in the service park.

So let me say thank you to all the kind Greek people, to all fans, to 89.2 Sportime Athens and to Petter and his Subaru-Team for the nice time I had in Greek again! ;-)

Cheers!

A true artist has had his heart ripped to more pieces than there are people on Earth. He knows loss, is unafraid and looks the Devil in the face each night as he brushes his teeth.
