Grand Prix Of South America – Final Day Post

Rally Live: Grand Prix of South America, Final Post

Well, this is the final entry of the Grand Prix of South America blog, as Gerd Mirtl was heard to utter;

‘As my grandmother used to say, everything must have an end, except a sausage, it has two.’ And so we find our end. It was a long and winding road, but we travelled it, from Buenos Aires to Cartagena!
So much happened along the way, let’s take a little photographic remembrance…..
