Sometimes, it’s enough to just point your smartphone or camera in the right direction, and hope for a good enough result, but sometimes you just want to say more with your work. Rally photo- and videographers are one of the most talented lens-wielding artists out there – to capture the essence of rallying you need...
There are literally thousands of rally videos out there, and you can spend countless hours browsing through them on the Youtube. There are videos made by well known enthusiasts and/or professionals, such as Best of Rally Live, Extremrallye or Rally Media.
