    ok that might explain it. cheers Jan. I know of a few spectator restrictions here where a stage is run through forestry, but generally most are held on public roads so spectating is basically free. Maybe we're lucky!

    Motorsport on public roads in the mainland UK requires an act of parliament to close the road. As it's so involved it never happens, in fact there is only one rally I'm aware of (the Jim Clark) that uses public roads
    The one about the f-ing hairdresser, the space hairdresser & the cowboy. The guy, he's got a tin foil pal & a pedal bin. His father's a robot & he's f-ing f-d his sister. Lego! They're all made of f-ing lego.

    There are a whole range of issues that force organisers to restrict spectators; the most common are lack of parking, access issues (eg narrow access road needs to be used by competitors), ecological issues (land owner doesn't want wild life or rare plants damaged by spectators), public relations issues (local residents will put up with the rally but don't want a crowd of spectators), land owner confidentiality (some land owners have activities on their land that they do want to disclose to the general public (e.g. Ministry of Defence, vehicle testing grounds)). It really is increasingly difficult to organise a rally in the UK.
