got tickets for friday and sat of rally GB and was wondering what the best stages/places to watch were? Was thinking of doing Sweet Lamb, Builth Wells service and Hafren. Is this way too much? Are there really good places to see loads of the action? I've seen some great footage on youtube of Sweet Lamb.

Cheers

might be difficult, moving between the two stages.

I'm sure I've read that they don't want you to move between the Mid Wales stages. Once you're at a stage, stay there for the whole day.

thanks. I think i've read something similar too but thought it was just the Saturday stages. Will keep on investigating. Any advice would be really appreciated!

Cool, the more WRC cars the better :D

I agree..

That should make 7 C4 cars on RGB, a record?
Loeb, Sordo, Solberg, Novikov, Rauntenbach, Ogier and Burkart.

Great! Mikko will take only one point ;)

Nothing settled for Andreas Mikkelsen at the moment. Lots of uncertainty after his accident last month. He is scheduled to do the Rally Bohemia in Czech Republic 16-17th of october, in what car I don`t know at the moment. This will be his first drive in a rally car after the accident where a 10 year old girl died after being hit by his Subaru. Andreas has had a very heavy and sad period the last couple of weeks, and noone knows how he will react when he is back behind the steeringwheel again. Hopefully it will go allright, and then possibly we will have the chance to see him in Wales also.

Yes, very pity about Andreas and the girl. This kind of accident has a big impact psychologically. But all the well to Andreas and i hope to see him soon back at rallying.
