Nice that Dennis Kuipers is back in the Fiesta WRC :)
I'm going to Rally Germany for the first time. What's it like with parking near the stages. I see that you need to have a ticket to view the stage, but can you drive up to the spectator areas which are marked on the map and leave the car on the side of the road?
Generally not on the day of the rally. You have to use the designated parking areas at the cost of 1 euro per time. And then walk (usually between 0.5 -1k) to the stage. This year ADAC appear to have taken the French approach, you can only view from a designated spectator zone. If you drive into the stage the day before and park in a prohibited zone you could be moved on. There are a number of approved stageside camping zones with exact details given on the ADAC website.Quote:

Ok, the reason I ask is, for example, one stage I'm looking at has 4 spectator areas, but only parking close to one area, so, how do you get to the other 3 areas - the only way is with a car. From other rallies I've been to, you go onto a side road approaching the stage and just park on the side of the road.
I don't mind paying 1 EUR, but I would like to make a plan as to where to go.
Which stage? Quite a number of forum members have Deutschland experience and (myself included) so may be able to give you specific advice. The satellite pictures on the ADAC website are very reliable and normally show the walking route to any particular zoneQuote:

Rally Germany is probably the easiest WRC Event to spectate without prior experience, everything is very very well prepared and organised. Nothing to worry about.Quote:

On the website it says that parking for that stage is at Z1, in Dackscheid, GPS: 50°7'1.3"N, 6°23'30.0"E (Kapellenstraße)

If you look at that map it shows approach roads in green which you can follow to the relevant parking areas for the 4 zones. If there is not a designated field (which is usual) then marshals will normally park cars on one side of the approach road (that has happened at Stein und Wein to me). Any other roads may be blocked a long way from the stage. It appears that ADAC have created a bit of confusion by not making the approach road convention clear.
Every Zone on the Waxweiler Stage Z1-Z4 has his own parking place. Footpath from 100m to 800m. Buy the official Programme when you arrive in the Rally Region and you will have all the Information needed.Quote:

Is there entry list of Historical cars and national entries?
Probably no Breen I guess due to his back injury? Autosport.com reports he's hoping to be recovered in time for Barum, which is after Germany.
On ERC pages confirmed he will not start in Germany.
and WRC.com says he will...Quote:

Does anyone could tell me how far it is from servisepark Trier to Porta Nigra(start),recommend by car or on foot?
By car. It's roughly 5 kilometres. There's parking space available near Service Park as well as near Porta Nigra.Quote:

On Breen's Twitter account he states he has all clear from doctor, so will start.

I'm going to see this rally first time so I have some questions:
1: There is only rally pass or there are some single tickets?
2: Can I buy ticket on the stage?
3: How long before stage start roads are closed? There is problem to park on stage?
From what I understand, there is a ticket for the whole event which costs 69EUR, or you pay 15EUR per stage when you arrive at a stage.
It's the first time I'm going to watch this rally.
Does anyone know, if I for example go to Stage 1, which is rerun in the afternoon as Stage 4, can I buy one ticket for 15EUR and stay on the stage the whole day or do you need a new ticket for the afternoon rerun?
Some very dirty roads in testing area:

Excellent Kubica test video - he seems to be coping pretty well with the hairpins (as well as rain and mud) ...

I think the ticket is also valid for the rerun.Quote:
