My wife and I did the same thing. We hid behind trees when Michelle M and other zero cars were coming through. She saw us at one of the stages and rolled her window down and said "I'm not leaving until you guys cross the street and find a safe spot". We laughed a bit and walked across since we were going to do that anyways, but yes, she is always a bit angry
We got bit like crazy too. I've got tons of bug spray this time and will apply every two hours. Hope it keeps the mosquitoes away

Never had anyone restrict me to spectator areas, just walk behind the tape for the first 100-200m and don't draw attention to yourself and you'Il be fine usually, even less than 1 hour before. Sometimes they will try to guide you in one direction but just walk around. Crowded places like the wide road in Shakedown you have to walk in the forest mostly, narrow road at the start more relaxed.

Citroen's press release. Even they are saying Breen is in car number 8 (although they changed his and Al-Qassimi's numbers around for some reason)

M-Sport/ Ford have been testing using a 'simulator' in the USA. They say its helped improve the Puma Rally1 car, especially for tarmac. Does anyone know what this simulator could be like ? Story...
