Rally GB aims for fan-friendly route

[Juha_Koo]

I was thinking about going this year but not anymore...

Why no service in the middle of the day making it nearly impossible to see more than two stages a day and almost forcing people to see the spectator stages they way it's set up. Looks more stressful than fan friendly to me.

"Fan friendly" in official context is about entertaining the average joes and not the enthusiasts. Unfortunately.

Really disappointing itinerary. The route is fine but why rush thing so much both on Saturday and Sunday.

Sunday is impossible to watch more than one stage.Saturday, you are basically forced to stay in a single stage and then risk to go to Kirk Castle, or switch stage and watch just 2.Friday is the only tried and tested route and is fine, but it has been the same for a number of years now.

All this to me have to do with the selection of Deeside as service park, which is too far away from stages.

Don't think its that bad. Extra stage on Thursday is good, even though it's in the dark.
Friday 2 stages.

Saturday it should be possible to go from Gartheiniog 2 to Dyfnant if you leave after the WRCs and definitely possible to go to Chirk Castle or why should that be impossible?

Sunday from Dyfnant to Great Orme should be possible too I think?

So my guess: QS/Shakedown, 1 stage on thursday. 2 on friday, 3 or 4 on saturday and 2 on sunday. So 8 or 9 stages should be possible? Not bad, last year: QS, 2 on friday, 2 on saturday and 2 on sunday.

Gonna miss Epynt though!!

Garth to Dyfnant is 50 min drive under ideal conditions - factor in the walk at both ends and it's going to be tight especially if there are more than 12 WRC cars. Lots of planning time to go until November

Garth to Dyfnant is a surprisingly long drive and will probably take you over an hour.

Clearly any day there is a rally in town is not going to be 'ideal conditions'!

ITV4 to show two 30 min progs on Fri & Sat of WRGB

Thought i'd post a cheeky message on here....if anyone is looking for a co-driver for either the International or National event...(the national event would be easier for me logistically)

Looking for a seat on the above, lots of experience on the main stages being used , very local to the service park so can sort accommodation and secure storage.

Would be happy to consider main event or either national event.

Give me a call

Really unhappy with the Sunday selection of stages. Even more so that the Dyfnant car park closes early Saturday evening and doesn't reopen until 5am. What's the point in that?! And only world rally pass holders will have access to Penllyn.
