Very heavy rain for Wales this weekend and Monday, then a drier spell before the rally, but more heavy rain is forecast for the Saturday of the rally...
Sounds like a traditional wet and muddy Rally GB is in prospect.

As has been said Great Orme is lovely in the sun BUT 4 years ago in the wind it was difficult to stand upright, there is no shelter and the predicted rain will drive in off the sea. I'd say if you have already paid then 1 pass of Alwen or Brenig then beat the crowds as after the second run it will be a 20mph crawl to the M6.Quote:

Citroen preview:
Buoyed by its recent 1-2 finish in Turkey, @Citroen heads for @WalesRallyGB in confident mood. @SebOgier & @EsapekkaLappi, who finished 1st & 3rd last year, will be aiming to be among the leaders this time around.

"It’s also worth mentioning that the triangle junction chicane used last year is removed now"
AnttiL, you mention this in your Wales route preview about Elsi. Is this the hairpin/triangle chicane that was at the spectator area last year? Or are you on about another part of the stage?

Yes, exactly this. The direction is now reversed and they skip taking the extra detour.Quote:

Hi,
planning my first rally GB, and I have some questions for most common spectators.
Does any of you plan to catch non-oficial roads to reach the stage? Is it doable?
Thank you!
Unless you're local, don't bother. Also, a lot of the 'other roads' are closed, or only for competitors/ officials......
er88, think I’m right in saying that they miss out the small triangular section and use the piece of stage just behind it you can just about see.Quote:
