Limits and Rallying

Rallying and limits

In one documentary about extremely old times when men sacrificed their lives to reach the limits of their own and cars , I heard an interesting comparison.

Rally Zemaitija Rally Week

Last weekend Lithuania rally championship officially started. The first two snow rounds were canceled due very warm winter in the Baltic region.

For the first time in Lithuanian stages – he was very quick and impressive with his BMW M3 E46. Only technical problems seized his final result.


So, Krzysztof Bubik is on the plate.
