the maps of individual stages haven't been published yet...so i do not know for sure...but they have never left that part out when Thiva was run since 99' i think, so chances are it is going to be included this year as well.Quote:

that depends on the weather really... last year we had many of those :) this year the rally should be drier if the weather goes as it is now...but you never know. I will visit ALL the stages 1 week before the event to find some good places and will keep you informed.Quote:

What about a meeting at Thursday evening after the stage at Loutraki?Quote:

The best bet for a meeting is during the sd or Power stage since its a short stage.Quote:

dimviii is right. It ends around 11.00. However, the shakedown continues with the rest of the drivers-the tourists according to NOT.
I was just going to let Jamie make all the plans and then blame him if it goes wrong :DQuote:

a bit optimistic list as WRCs go...
add some Greeks to that list as slowly moving sponsor signs... and you are pretty much spot on
Not getting to enter youself then NOT? ;)
More detailed maps are online: http://www.acropolisrally.gr/GR/2012...012/maps-2012/
Yazeed Al Rajhi will do the Acropolis Rally. Last year he came in Greece, did some tests but had to leave on Thursday due to an illness.
I love the look of that! :up:
I heard from someone that he was gambling and drinking all night at the casino the night before :DQuote:

Yesterday i did a very rough schedule.
thrs : SD and ss1

Strd: Not yet decided... probably 2 stages and the last service park of the day.
Snd: ss18, ss20, ss22
again it all depends on the places i find after i go through the stages... we will see.
In Greece is it possible to walk in to a road closure and spectate or do you have to go to dedicated spectator points?
you can walk.
Last time I was there we were allowed to walk into the stages and stay almost every way. I remember staying along with Jamie on an inside turn where we almost could touch the cars ;) :s
Yeah thats awesome - In Aus last year we did that a couple times but it involved a lot of negotiating with marshals who wanted to kick us out. Its not that we were standing in dangerous spots, they just didn't really want anyone there
Acropolis is the most spectator friendly wrc rally.You can almosty do everything and free.At ''everything'' is not including stupid things.Quote:
