That is what I have been telling people on here for the last couple of years, but people who haven't even been to the event apparently know more about it than someone who has!!!!!!Quote:

Also, spectating at this rally is FREE meaning spectators are not used as cash cows like in some other events.

For anyone doing it by themselves I would recommend staying in Madaba and renting a car. That way you can avoid Amman and it's crazy traffic! Don't forget it is Easter time and the rally starts on the thursday and ends on the saturday. This area (Madaba) has a lot of Christians so accommodation may be tight at this time of the year.
The rally guide is availabe here and has good maps.

The airport is on the right of the screen. the service park is based near the Dead Sea resorts of Movenpick, Kempinski etc. the HQ of the rally is at the Dead Sea Convention Centre. draw a line from the airport through Madaba and on the Dead Sea will be resorts.
I did it independently as part of a Middle East holiday. I hired a rental car and stayed in Amman (the traffic wasn't too bad, apart from the roundabouts!). Once out of Amman, it is very easy to get around and find the stages.Quote:

Mitsubish Lancer WRC 05
He will drive the Dutch championship.
Good to see someone driving a Mitsubishi WRC in the WRC this year. :)
Peugeot has no place for Sebastien Loeb in the factory team for Le Mans 2010. Anthony Davidson/Alex Wurz/Marc Gené, Nicolas Minassian/Franck Montagny/Stephane Sarrazin and Sebastien Bourdais/Simon Pagenaud/Pedro Lamy will try to keep the trophy in France
Autosport.com says that Quensel said Loeb was fast enough to be included in the team, and they always planned to make the decision on Loeb for Le Mans after Sweden. Quensel said that "Sebastien does not need any distractions this year" So I guess if he won Sweden maybe Quensel would have left him play roundy roundy, but now that he has a real fight with Mikko he gets "no distractions" - Game on - Go Mikko!Quote:
