Strange. It's a post on https://www.facebook.com/sidewaysmedia.net

I'll quote it:
"Deputy clerk of course for the recent Malcolm Wilson Rally, Martin Taylor, has posted this video from Hobcarton forest, which should have been stage one of the rally. The video was taken on the Friday afternoon as the BRC crews were doing the recce of the stages. A few media colleagues had told us that the stage was impassable, here's the evidence.... We were due to film on this stage. The desicion to cancel the three early stages was the correct decision."

Thanks for that link. I tried and failed to view it through Safari (I used Ecosia browser for motorsportforums and a few other websites as the format seems to work smoother than Safari) but I could at least see the video preview shot :D

Malcolm Wilson Rally highlights, also there’s now a dedicated BRC channel on YouTube:

Funny they say Cronin was "sadly hampered when they caught another car and couldn't pass them..." but no sight or mention of the Puma.

Reminds me of the 1999 BRC opener, the Vauxhall Rally of Wales when the coverage concentrated on the Megane battle between Rowe & Laukkanen; hardly mentioning David Higgins in the GpN Impreza who won the event.

Spectator info is now on the Rally North Wales website:

I’m thinking of going if I have time that weekend. Can anybody recommend some good viewpoints from the stage info?

Rather old school, sensible advise to be clear of the stage 15 minutes before the first competitor is due, only £10 per car, payable on the gate and Dyfnant gets reversed for the second run, I like it!
