I read that Evans R5 was 'just to get an entry in' so he had a place ( plus as BRC Champion he got free entry..)

The car type was to be dependent on what M-Sport had available.

I cant see him being denied the WRC drive if the car is there...

Isn't the rule that you can change just one major component of the entry without special dispensation. Either driver, co-driver or car. Iirc Henning was in the published entry list for Finland as WRC but made the late change to R5

Looks like Elfyn won't be there anyway as the car isn't available - http://www.autosport.com/news/report...rc-seat-fading

Didn't think he'd bother running down the road in an R5 after the JWRC lot.

See where Loubet started in Corsica? (he was not driving for WRC2 points)
Evans can/will start in WRC2 field.
Juha Salo started in WRC2 field Rally Finland and was not driving for points.

Okay cool thanks I didn't realise that. I guess you can apply for dispensation to run in front of the slower cars.

Advice please...
I'm planning on watching for just one day: Friday 29th.
I will be driving down on the Thursday and sleeping overnight.
Do I....
A) go to Dyfnant and watch both passes through that stage?
Or
B) go to Merehin for the first pass and then onto Dyfnant to watch the second pass?

Ideally I would like to see some really high speed corners... none of this hairpin crap!

Two years ago I watched in Dyfi and I simply walked to a different spot for the second pass and witnessed a completely different part of the stage...
I'm basically wondering if anyone thinks it's worth making the additional drive, or if Dyfnant can give me the high speed thing I'm looking for (ideally at two different spots)

If it is Dyfnant only, I will be using car park G.

Cheers in advance and hope everyone going has a good one...

I don't know about Dyfnant, I'm planning to spend both passes there Friday, but Myherin is a great, great stage to spectate at if you walk up to the top.

I'd happily spend all day there again, but it'd be an extra hour's drive for me in both directions, so trying Dyfnant this time.

guys in your experience how feasible is it to spectate at Dyfi on Saturday morning and then after the second WRC run rush to Chalmondley Castle?

thanks in advance!

So if it rains does that count out Hyundai
After an under-steering front and a tail happy rear in slippy conditions (finland) it could be VW domination

I thought the Hyundai are pretty happy with the car in the wet
