Wrc Vodafone Rally de Portugal 2013

The gods must be rally fans, rain finally stops for today and tomorrow, giving us a partially/clear sky, and will return Sunday. Just perfect for the Rally Sprint event tomorrow.
Weak winds but the night will be a bit cold though, bring your coats.


PS: I just hope the same happens on the ERC Açores rally, those landscapes deserve a sunshine weather.

Is there a live stream for the Fafe Sprint?

Is there a live stream for the Fafe Sprint?

Despite not being in Portugal, it should work:

Direto RTP2 - RTP Play - RTP

They're not the only option. It's true that GNR & Marshalls are very strict, though there are stages which are very long and you can find some zones without any of them. Moreover, the famous jump in Ourique (this year it's part of Almodovar) isn't a ZE but it's always plenty of spectators. These five years I've always watched the rally at some non-ZE places (two or three each year). I'll do it again this year. Of course, some hours spent on Google Earth and experience are needed.
On the other hand, you are almost always allowed to cross the road or walk on the track too. There are some places, for example Santana da Serra, where they allow to cross the stage between two cars. That's what I did it last year because I moved to Sambro on the first loop on Sunday.

Kielder,

I'm heading over from the USA next week with some friends for this rally again. It's our 3rd time going. Last year we had a lot of fun traveling "lost" through the countryside with GPS coordinates. We found a paved "race track" like road in the middle of one of those stages.

You mention some non-ZE places in your comment, I have Google Earth loaded up with all the stages for this years event. Would you be willing to exchange some words with me and sharing a few coordinates? I'm a photographer and would love to catch that jump in Ourique along with some others. I could PM you my e-mail address perhaps?

Of course you can send me a PM. I'll answer you on Sunday or Monday because today I'll be very busy working and preparing everything for Fafe.
