I think the city and holiday resort of Marmaris is the centre of the rally. The power stage is quite near and all stages relatively near.

I live in Greece and I am planning to be there during that weekend. So I need to be close to the weekend stages.Quote:

So far we know that both Kopecky and Tidemand will drive this rally. I was also expecting Skoda to send Nordgren here, since he has done Cyprus and Acropolis this year...

Route preview. I dug up the maps of the 2016 and 2017 rallies and watched their onboards. Seems like the slowest rally of the season, although parts of the roads seem wide, smooth and fast. The condition of the road is still a mystery, as it can change yearly.
looks like sweeping is going to be a big issue here...
I didn't watch all vids, but from what I have seen it's often slow but relatively wide roads.
IMO good to have a slow rally in the calender again, just hope the roads are not too rough.
I would say there are all combinations of technical and fast-flowing, wide and narrow, rough and smooth. And the actual surface of the roads is yet unknown, because it could be now different than on the videos from 2016 and 2017.Quote:

No surprises. Except for Henning with R5
Ingram entry confirmed in WRC2 for Rally Turkey. :)
Chris Ingram has his first WRC2 entry in the Toksport Fabia R5. Great work getting the funding for this as well as his ERC events.
What!Quote:

Did you really know about Yazeed ? and all those WRC2 entries ?
I didnt mean surprising on a level of knowing who would enter this rally, surprising on a level of who would enter a rally this year ;)Quote:

M-Sport debuts today testing for Turkey in Greece road ► http://bit.ly/2NqK2N7
Old aero. Sure if turkey is the slowest rally it wont matter much.
Not Ogier testing ;)
They also did use new aero and tried even newer one.
I still think that itīs wrong to let a WRC round take place in Turkey, but I'm still looking forward to the rally.
With Ford Performance on board M-Sport should have the parts for testing and all three cars by now. Progress is needed NOW to compete with Toyota.Quote:

I believe so also. They said, that all the cars will have it in Germany, but after a bad rally in Finland it seemed like they still need testing and don`t want to ruin 2 other chassis`s.
Why do you feel it's wrong besides issues with Turkey's economy etc. No different than having a rally in the US. I speak as someone who grew up in the states...Quote:

That's my point. I don't believe that itīs really a security risk, but I think you shouldn't "support" undemocratic countries like this (same for China 2016). It has nothing to do with the country itself or the people (my girlfriend even has Turkish roots), itīs only the political situation with Erdogan (imprisonment of journalists, opposition members etc.).Quote:

grow a pair and accept the truth.
Well, there are reasons why people vote(d) for him, although it might be difficult for someone from a democratic European country to understand that. No apologize, but an explanation. What I want to say is that I don't reproach anyone from Turkey who voted for him. So yes, I do not have anything against the people themselves.Quote:

This current so called democracy is too overrated. So I tend to agree with N. O. T. No more OT from me.
Let's see how Turkey handles the WRC then we can judge and throw politics aside.
Which stage is 10kms from the Syrian border? None...
We have nothing to worry about.
go shill somewhere else..Quote:

I will report back, but I will be Gazoo VIP, so it would be a privileged first world view of the rally, but I'll try my best to see it through the lens of a regular spectator while sipping champagne at the stages lol.
