Portugal 2009
Anybody have any experience of the Portugal 2007 WRC or even the 2008 IRC event? Considering a spectating trip in 2009.

No experience myself but there should be plenty of cheap flights, or maybe cheaper/easier to get a package deal.

I'd also like some feedback from this rally as I'm considering a trip there from the US. I have been to Germany, Corsica, and Sardinia. All have been great. Germany was a little too busy so hard to get good spectating positions. All were quite well organized.

I have just booked to go to portugal in april and was wondering if there is any good maps with good detail of the gravel roads that the stages are running on, something like the ordanance survey maps we have in the u.k.If so where can you get them from?

Hello everyone.
I know that I look suspect (because I'm Portuguese), but I think you should make a visit to Portugal to see the WRC.
Apart from having one fantastic rally, the region of Algarve offers you all the conditions to combine some good days of vacation, beach and Rally.
I'm also a co-driver in national championship's and you show you some onboard imagens from the special stages.

Pwrc drivers will suffer(including Sandell in the Fabia) :
