Best news so far this year, I bet even more people will attend this second time, it's gonna be massive. . :) And i'ts another important test for the return of the Rally itself to the good old "cathedral" in 2014, hope everything goes well.

I would like to see a good media coverage there from the teams, with those new drones and so on... it will be a good opportunity for photo/video marketing, not only for them but for the sport itself(precisely what FIA wants to boost).

I just bought fligts to Faro and apartment hotel from Albufeira :)
7-15 april there. Hopefully good weather, I will spend my winter holiday at same time :D

The organisation has been uploading some videos. On this one you can see some historic images:

Specifically, the above video was uploaded by ACP (Automóvel Club de Portugal).
I take advantage to post a pic of mine from last year. I'll miss this year the stages close to Tavira.

Hopefully it's not that wet weather all the week when I'm there :)

my 1st visit to rally Portugal. Any tips on where to watch and do you have to pay to get to stages? thanks

Nice, I hope you enjoy the rally and your stay.

Theres no need to pay to go to stages. There is a rally pass option which costs around 175€ (per person) which grants you 2 exclusive spectator zones per day and exclusive parking around the service park, plus some minor souvenirs. In my opinion it's not worth the money and it's not mandatory. Unfortunately here we dont have much freedom when it comes to choose spots, we tend to stay in spectator zones which are chosen by the organization and usually they are ok. Every year the organizers put up in Youtube a video (Rally de Portugal 2012 ZE 13 Tavira - YouTube) of all spectator zones, usually one month before start, so you can choose where you want to go, they also give a pretty description on how to acess the stages.

One big point for the rally pass is, that you have service park access, "normal spectators" only have rally village access
