Rally Great Britain 2009

as far as i was aware, im led to believe ,there wont be a saturday night stadium stage, due to Wales rugby commintments, i myself am tempted with Scotland if i can raise funds, hard ,when your on disability, might avertise for car share lol. :)

Deffently no Millenium stadium this year.
Just wondering, where in Cardiff service and shakedown, will be this year. As they are not using SA1, or Swansea. Think Pengellar forest will be to far for shakedown.
Is there anything sutible for shakedown around Cardiff.

I wouldn't let the lack of the stadium special put you off. They are usually pretty poor to say the least.

I know it's more difficult as far as access but the other stages will be so much more rewarding.

Glad that IMS have decided to run the rally. At least that gives time for either a vigorous pursuit of the legal case, or time for a compromise to be reached, now that the pressure of deadlines is removed. Politics can change things, afterall its only since friday that Peter Hain has been in charge of Wales, if a decision was made so soon it would to back the event (even if they had the time) that would have given people the impressin that it was Peter spending public money on his sport.

i agree with simmi, i went stadium last year , and ok i was up in the gods, but i feel it lacked the exciting of previous years , and bloody cold as well :eek:

I wonder if the MSA are going to look for a Title sponsor for 1 year? Or will it be known as MSA Rally GB. It's a sad indictment of the sport/event if it can't get a sponsor, even for 1 year.

I think it was the right decision to go ahead - especially if it is true that there could be repercussions regarding other FiA events held in UK, e;g British GP, IRC Rally Scotland, etc
