Wales Rally GB Old "new" stages spectator tips

[Simmi]

My bad, it`s http://www.martymccormack.com , one `r` in McCormack. Sorry.

Thanks for the videos they will be really helpful. You dont happen to know which of the 2008 videos is Hafren do you (top or bottom)? I cant find the stage details for the rally on the internet anywhere.

I am thinking maybe the top one on the 2008 page (Stage 3) - the hairpin right at the very end?

@ Simmi

The hairpin in the video is not the one on WRGB Hafren stage. It is very similar though. I recced the hairpin myself a couple of week ends ago..... IMHO only average viewing.

Thanks dyfi1. The spectator areas do tend to be only average from a viewing perspective. The only reason I ask is because that is where I will be entering the stage. Did you see if there was anything before or beyond the hairpin that looked decent?

After the hairpin the road follows the valley floor, and it`s wooded. Above the hairpin, and beyond where the spectators car park road comes out, is a dissused quarry and a very fast crest/ kink left which is the start of the long down hill to the hairpin. The road steepens for last 30mts into hairpin. 200mts beyond the disused quarry is a long long left hander..... but that`ll be beyond the tapes no doubt.

Glad to help. Incidentaly, Myherin stage starts off A44 just below Eisteddfa Gurig and goes into `Pikes Peak` style with with wide hairpin after wide hairpin. great viewing, but there seems to be no spectator access....... and then goes straight over Cefn Croes towards the wind farm. All open moorland.

The best parts of stages are normally Non Spectator nowadays - you get sent to the same tired old junctions/sections. C'mon - give us some variety, please!!
