Rally "Kauno ruduo 2008"

Rally "Kauno ruduo 2008" was expected to be one of the best rallies ever been in Lithuania: the first sector in 600 year old Kaunas Oldtown where streets are cobblied, two WRC cars, the best drivers from Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia... But when LASF (Lithuanian auto sport federation) decided that "Kauno ruduo 2008" wont be one of the stages in Lithuanian rally championship everything changed... Registered only 22 of of 70 teams, Kaunas government canceled decision to let rally cars drive in Oldtown on 130 km/h speed and most good drivers from Lithuania spent their time somewhere else, but not in this rally... All in all it wasn't so bad anyway :smile: It was quite good race, but too short and that's it! Organizers made their job really great! We saw leaders of Latvian rally championship, visited "Velnio duobe", did sighstseeing in Kaunas and spent our time in fresh air :smile: What could be better? :smile: But maybe it would be better if you check out my ! ! !
