For sure they aren’t exact figures, like the ones of a ticket selling (btw, in that case fraud can also exist), but they’re still a pretty fair indication.

    At Rally de Portugal case, the crowd enthusiasm has become its main asset. The move to the North was asked by Todt and Mouton, despite some safety risks. Portuguese public has managed to respond in a fantastic way and we can now proudly say that besides having the biggest crowds we also have impeccable spectator’s behavior. Many other countries can hardly say the same.

    Would like to book that as soon as possible.
    Portugal has the traditional 3stagesx2passes format. Without a motorbike it gets complicated trying to see stage 1 and 3 from each loop, as access roads are packed and you’ll have to spend a long time walking. In the current format you can realistically see 2 stages per day, plus Thursday SS (Lousada), Friday street stage and Thusrday morning fantastic Shakedown (Baltar).

    Still, as ’18 route isn’t yet known, we can hope for a change into a 4x2 layout and Porto street stage return. For accommodation, Braga is a good option and so it’s Guimarăes (world heritage town), a bit closer to Fafe stages and to Porto/Matosinhos headquarters.

    Yes but do they use the numbers provided by the authorities or the numbers provided by the organisers? Considering the source I think it is the organisers number. And then you need to know how are these numbers calculated? Stage by Stage, or Day by Day or the the whole weekend together?

    That class could be more alive.. Then you only see sometime Porsche and that's it. And these guys at Fiat talks with big mouth how they would compete and show only on one event... And even there almost all crash... Alpine bring that beast into the game. Toyota too.

    WRC = World Rally Championship, r-GT is a class in the WRC, but get your point.
