It's almost 8km to service from Marmaris. I'm here now and it was hot today, but only for 2-4 hour window. The evenings are pleasant.
The area is full of British and a mix of Germans, Lebanese and Ukrainians. Every restaurant serves English and Scottish breakfast. It's a complete tourist trap. We walked into a restaurant while a couple was leaving and they said it was the best meal they've had. I looked at my wife, laughed and then told her 5 star food in most parts of Britannia is about 2.2 in the rest of the world besides America where it's probably a 2.5. I've lived on both countries FYI.
I would never come here to vacation, but I sure hope the rally is fun. I have no clue how they are going to organize the city stage. It was crowded as f@ck when we arrived and very very tight. I think the viewing for non VIP spectators will be pure crap. Besides horrible western food and crowded streets with fat drunken tourists, it should be fun.
Oh and we got some showers in the evening yesterday for a good 30-40 mins even though the weather gods said it was completely sunny with zero change of rain...
Bluuford you must be miserable eating here. Estonia has some amazing cuisine..Last edited by racerx1979; 10th September 2018 at 19:17.

so, finally a rallying week, FINALLY!
if anyone else besides the championship TOP3 this season wants to win, then this is their only chance IMO. Reading AnttiL's blog and watching the videos from last year, it seems the first guys will suffer like hell. But in the same time big rocks will be carried onto the road for the back starters.
Quite imposible to predict the outcome this time.#8 Ott Tänak - Martin Järveoja #8

I spoke to a few guys who did the rally in 2017 and there are a few water splashes which have been swept, but the first 3-4 cars will drag rocks into those splashes which can cause serious problems for the guys later in the road. A lot of unknowns which makes this a very interesting event.

I think Mikkelsen and Paddon could be strong here. It could also be a chance for Evans to showcase his speed with some road position advantage. The Toyotas are a bit of an enigma. Tänak has been unbeatable on gravel this year and Latvala has experience from Turkey, but will the car stand the roughness? Lappi and Suninen could also struggle with their little experience from this type of rallies. Neuville and Ogier will lose a lot of time on the first day. This rally could also give good points to someone who takes it easy but just makes it through safely without punctures or other encounters with bigger rocks.

Everyone is confused about Toyota's expectations for this event. How will the engines hold up? We all know they've suffered from front lower impact in the past. Have these issues been taken care of?
We could see a big surprise in this event. It will be slow and technical.
