Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

it's a bit off-topic, but i will ask here as there are a lot of Wales Rally experts
i've seen a massive jump (and real fast, maybe 140/150 km/h) on Eurosport on the last 2 editions (if not more). Last year i remember Solberg jumping a lot. I have suspicion that this jump is in Epynt stage... but not sure
so where is it¿?

Its actualy on the Margam (or Port Talbot named stage this year) near junction 4 on that stage. Its a man made jump and you can get really high jumps.

Did they finish Port Talbort stage in Margam park this year? In my view the rally season just HAS to finish in Margam park! Shame it didn't happen this year! Great news that the rally is spreading out, hopefully some day I'll get to see one of the classic long and adventurous Rally GBs i am too young to remember!

I would love to see the rally head back north but it wont unfortunately due to traffic congestion the roads JUST wouldnt be able to cope with the amount of traffic, its a pity as it would be awesome to see them use Hafren, Dyfi, Radnor, Myherin, these are possibly the best stages in England.
