McKlein Rally Calendar 2017 – Special: Group B
For 2017, McKlein is launching a new calendar series aimed at rallying aficionados. It is named “Rally History”. This wall calendar comes in a 67 x 48 centimetre format and shows a mixture of both rare and well-known images from the McKlein archive in a size and quality never seen before. For its first year, McKlein has chosen the theme “Group B”. Twenty-five spectacular colour images show the Group B supercars in action including the Audi Sport Quattro E2, Peugeot 205 T16 and Lancia Delta S4. These photos not only give a feeling of the titanic fight for glory between these fearsome machines but also highlight the unique atmosphere of a wild and fascinating rally era. Re-live the harshness of the Safari, the crazy crowds of Portugal and the beauty of the Sanremo Rally with this high-quality product. Just like all other McKlein wall calendars, “Rally History” offers the choice between two very different images each month.

McKlein Rally Calendar 2016 – The Wider View
$89 CDN
Thick dust on the Rally Portugal, splashing mud on the Wales Rally GB and snow and ice on the Monte Carlo Rally. There is no other motor sports discipline that is as varied and spectacular as the World Rally Championship where World Rally Cars are driven right on the edge. And there is nobody out there who captures the sport as well as McKlein.
For their breath-taking XXL wall calendar “McKlein Rally 2016 – The Wider View”, the McKlein photographers have picked their very best pictures to show the beauty of today’s WRC. As the official calendar of the FIA World Rally Championship, it offers a choice between two pictures each month in a 95 cm panoramic format. The only chance to see Sébastien Ogier, Kris Meeke, Thierry Neuville, Elfyn Evans, Robert Kubica and Co. in action in a larger format would be to live on one of the WRC stages.
Twenty-five amazing images show just what a Citroën DS3 WRC, Ford Fiesta WRC, Hyundai i20 WRC and VW Polo WRC are capable of on tarmac, gravel, ice and snow.

SPA 2.25 litre systems in for Chumpcar Teams
Spa Technique’s Multi-Flo AFFF Fire Systems were designed specifically for closed cockpit cars (for example, touring and rally cars). With the 6 nozzles and large 4 liter bottle, splitting fire protection between the engine compartment and cockpit has never been simpler!
SPA “Lite” AFFF (Aqueous Film Forming Foam) is a non-toxic, ozone friendly, fire suppressant that offers the competitor the same level of protection as the pros use. The FIA approved steel bottle is an affordable alternative to the more expensive alloy or carbon-fiber fire systems.
