Oh fantastic, overcrowd the place why don't you!! - there is only a bank on the exit with no standing on the entrance and apex as cars have been known to get very out of shape and carry straight on over a big drop! I'd pick a much safer place to congregate if I were you

Last year the place was way overcrowded and the marshals didnt manage to keep people out of the inside of the hairpin.
This year being an uphill right hairpin, so even less spectacular. I would avoid this point I think

Looking forward... The itinerary looks quite spectator-friendly (better than when it was in South of Wales I think)?
@Bluuford, any depressing weather predictions?

Tom, trying to stage hop will be a nightmare. The only way it is possible is to have parking spots very near the spectator zones and not to go exploring outside of these areas. This only facilitates the first move of the day, after that it will be mayhem. There is no way that the rally pass represents good value. Media access or helicopter are necessary to see more that 3 stages in 1 day!

In my experience it's difficult enough to see 3 stages. It's one of the reasons that I probably won't bother to go. A 5 hour each way journey, sleeping in the car and all the money on fuel, tickets etc. to see the cars maybe twice in daylight and once at night just isn't worth it IMO.
You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

Not really spectator friendly in terms of stages you can see. Road mileage to stage is more now especially if you want to visit service park every night.
Switching between stage has never been a problem for me. But usually it means 2 stages, 3 in a day is very rare. This year it can be done on Saturday but is very marginal. The major problem is the distance you may have to walk (or run ) if you arrive late at the stage.

I think you're best staying for the day in the same stage. The days of stage hopping are over...for now. As such, the passes aren't worth the money. I'm paying on the gate, having previously bought tickets.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

Im hoping to pay at the entrance to the woods, as I only found out Wednesday I could go. If I book a day pass now I have to drive to Deeside or flaming Llandudno! If that fails, i'll be parking up somewhere and walking in!
