Do I....
A) go to Dyfnant and watch both passes through that stage?
Or
B) go to Merehin for the first pass and then onto Dyfnant to watch the second pass?

Ideally I would like to see some really high speed corners... none of this hairpin crap!

Two years ago I watched in Dyfi and I simply walked to a different spot for the second pass and witnessed a completely different part of the stage...
I'm basically wondering if anyone thinks it's worth making the additional drive, or if Dyfnant can give me the high speed thing I'm looking for (ideally at two different spots)

If it is Dyfnant only, I will be using car park G.

Cheers in advance and hope everyone going has a good one...

Dyfnant will give you both definitely and at half the cost of 1 run in myherin and 1 in Dyfnant ....and you will get to see the Nationals during the WRC interval.

thanks in advance!

If you can only take about 30 mins to get back to your car at Dyfi and only watch the first 15 cars on the second run then it'd be doable - UNLESS the event organisers have not got the parking entry to Chalmondley properly sorted.

It all depends on traffic going into cholmondely. I think it's possible.

I wouldnt bother with Cholmondley... very short stage with probably poor views. Not worth the journey and traffic hassle.

An idea here of the stage at the Paegeant of Power... its mostly just a blast along straights.

Nicky Grist has the most pleasant way to speak ever. I've always thought he'd make an excellent commentator. Shame I live in sweden and can't see this :/

I hope Grist & Lorenzo are doing the stage commentary and not just the Ch.5 programme introduction.

Here's a stream of Ch5 for people to watch.

Confirmed - Evans is out. :(

Recce for #WRGB this morning. Gutted not to be doing my home rally this year, but we're now fully focused on 2017! https://t.co/I6sR85pXBV

It’s a pity for Evans and for Welsh fans. It may be truth, but MSport’s lack of available units sounds a bit like an excuse. Can Evans have already a deal with other manu (Toyota?) for ’17?

Older guys for sure will remember that in ’82 Rohrl wasn’t allowed to enter RAC Rally because Opel find out he had a contract signed with Lancia for next year…
