"no war" with hippy signs, that is definetly the strangest livery I've ever seen! Looks good though

Is there in the forum anybody who has madia tabard stickers and media passes? Is it easier to move there if you have that pass?

Greece is the only event where a photo tabard does not means anything...

Yes, if you have media pass on the car it can help a bit in some cases, but on the stage you can do the same with our without tabard.

So you need to walk from to start to this point then?*
or is there a road closer to reach this point?

Can someone tell me where to find these spots?

You have to go in from the start. I think you have to be there early, as close to the starttime the road was closed for public just after village Gymno. Its a steep road up to the start with some hairpins and people was walking up there quite some time (2 km, 200 m altidude difference). I had a media sticker on the car when i was there and could so drive until the time control and park there.

I think the second one on Thiva - 500m meters before 11.9km radiopoint Nr. 3 (RG2 SS map) - or if more familiar near where Latvala spun in 2009
In 2009 it was like this : Acropolis Rallye 2009 - DuEn_Acropolis2009_KlimaFoto16.jpg*•*
- I think the same spot but not sure

The first Ford trucks have arrived in Loutraki!

I'm not going to Acropolis this year, but information what N.O.T. provides is something! Official rally guides is nothing compare to this. Definetely will try to visit Acropolis next year and I wish every local rally fan has so much passion to rally as N.O.T. has!

Some buses in Athens are decorated from today...

**N.O.T** · 17th May 12, 19:32

i do not know how the weather is at the south or near the stages but if it even close to what we get to the north, then pack umbrellas and raincoats... for the last 3-4 days it rains daily for at least 3-4 hours a day and the weather is very cloudy and dark for the most of the day... lets hope things improve.

Good afternoon from the rainy Netherlands !

While preparing the rally I have a question: is it possible to visit the Finish Podium (sunday afternoon) or is this ceremony only accessible for Casino VIP-members and media ?

Thanks in advance !

Kind regards,

Sander
