It's maybe not hopeful, but realistic. The organizers can do all their best, but if the government isn't allowing it (like last year), it's not happening.Quote:

Being optimistic - things can change, and one hopes they will.
A long way to go still to this rally but...
we know for sure that Ogier will definitely start 1st even if he gets 0 from Estonia.
Evans from second seems also quite sure, although Thierry has a chance to pass him but that would require another very bad result from Evans.
Now it gets very interesting, because who sill start from 3rd and onwards on the road is very open, Tänak is just 8 points away from Neuville and Taka is 11 points away from him and Kalle is 21 points away.
so Rally Estonia result will be pretty crucial considering starting positions 3 and onwards.
It looks spectators can go anywhere they want, however you need to show a negative covid test or EU Covid vaccin passport when changing e-ticket to the real ticket.
Is it possible to buy tickets yet?
Their website is a mess to navigate. How very Belgian.
No, not yet.
Tickets for sale now. Very expensive though.
Ticket for Monday test: 12 euro
Ticket for Thursday non prio shakedown: 18 euro
Ticket for Friday prio shakedown: 25 euro
Ticket for half the stages of the rally: 98 euro
WOW! This is pricey!

Catastrophic floods in large parts of Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany. Search and rescue operations ongoing in lots of cities and villages. Also the area around the circuit Spa-Francorchamps is hit hard (Sunday stages Ypres Rally). The village of Spa is flooded. There's damage to the supporting infrastructure of the circuit and also the road from Blanchimont to the paddock has collapsed. The circuit organisation has said that they will prepare the circuit for this weekend already, but I don't know if the rest of the roads will be affected. Anyhow, terrible events right now in a beautiful part of the country. I just hope everyone stays safe there.
