    Veeery distant plan - arrive on Wednesday in Porto, get a rental car, drive down to Braga (or somewhere near, where hotel is booked), maybe recee some points I want to spectate,
    watch as much rally as possible for 3 days and fly back on sunday afternoon. Or in worst case, monday morning.
    What should I consider and take into account for rally spectating and accomodation?
    I have some expectations about living and accomodation costs, also rental cars and fuel prices.
    Great choice tolx! Rally de Portugal is a fantastic event, besides it’s free to see and the living cost here is quite low (fuel is the exception) compared to North of Europe countries. There aren’t yet indications of ’18 RdP route, but probably it’ll take some of previous editions stages. You can get some info from last year’s initial pages topics:

    Once we’re talking about spectating WRC events, the promoter estimations till Catalunya indicated Portugal and Argentina at the top, with 950.000 spectators each! Portugal and Argentina together gathered as many spectators as all the other 8 events (Finland included). Quite impressive! Btw, Portugal population is 10M, Argentina 44M.

    I will go through those threads once again for sure. But realistically, how many stages could be seen per day? And what about nightstay location?
    Would like to book that as soon as possible.

    Shame we don't see the figures for all events separately. Also don't forget that number is usually all days combined, so someone who visits all 4 days could be counted 4 times.

    How do they count spectators on free to attend events? With other events you can use the statistics of sold tickets and rally passes, but free events ... impossible.
    Never stop dreaming because one day it might happen.

    I'm hoping to do Portugal next year, though I keep meeting Finnish people who tell me their rally is the best. Perhaps some kind of cosmic hint? My wallet may well decide the outcome though

    The Finns aren't lying... I haven't been in Portugal since it moved North, but I'm sure no other event in Europe will beat Finland in terms of spectacle.

    Or let's put it more politely, guessing. But you as the almighty god must know how many souls there were on the Portuguese rally stages. Can you give us the exact number?
