Hi, I hope to help you with some answers, if you have any more questions, just ask.

If you do have to move then do you walk from stage to stage or do you have to drive (surely there isn’t adequate roads and parking to handle all this traffic?)
4.What happens while the WRC is not going on? I was thinking about getting a 3 day pass and camping. I have done this at circuits where there is always something going on. Is there a central base where everybody goes? Or do people just do their own thing somewhere nearby?
5.As everybody will be stood in random locations along the stage how would you know when it was time to move to the next stage? Do they send a marshal car after the last racer to let people know it was over?
6.What other class of car competes alongside the WRC? I understand they have the S2000 class now? Are there many other class of car there?
As you see rallying is a much more complex sport, especially for the spectators. Preparing an event takes some time. But isn't that part of what makes our sport so beautiful? I know several people who were following circuit-racing closely until they discovered the beauty of rallying, since then you can't find them along the side of a racetrack anymore.
the redbull rally channel officialy gave up on wrc, eh? i mean, they have so much great 20min highlights on redbull motorsport (its more about bikes, but its always good!). too bad they dont care...
