Again the first.He was also the first with privateer with fabia r5 on gravel.
Entry list will be announced on Monday. Hopefully with spectators allowed. Hopefully……
Yeah I'm hoping. Probably my only chance to see a WRC event. I'll pay somebody with private property to watch from on or near one of the stages if I have to!
I contacted the organizers yesterday and they replied they cannot block access to the mountains… But they were very strict saying that we should behave because it would be catastrophic for the future of the rally if a stage will be cancelled because of the spectators.
So even if they announce it will be without spectators, it will be “without spectators”.
Well that's good. Hopefully everyone behaves. I'm coming from USA but plan on masking the whole time, am fully vaccinated and understand the etiquette for where to spectate safely for rallies.. hopefully everyone else does the same. I'd hate to see stages shut down because people act like idiots.
Really happy to see someone from US to visit Greece for the rally! You will have a great time!Quote:

Been checking the website but they have not updated much yet. Still trying to sort out where to park for stages, how to get access to service park etc. Hopefully they will update some of that soon.

Might be that Hyundai doesn't even plan for him to drive all 7 rounds but only 6 (that count). In that case his chances of title are minimal with 2x 0 points already.
Suninen in WRC2.
Good one.Quote:

Good entry!
Probably a sign of his plans with M-Sport for 2022....Quote:

Maybe it's better in the end, the Acropolis stages will have partly so fast sections that the Fiestas stand no chance.Quote:

But for sure might start to lag behind after a while.
Maybe it also has to do with the rally character.
In any case it will be really interesting to see the comparison with Suninen. I don't think Suninen will be much slower than Gryazin if at all.

Route updated, the power stage run of Tarzan is only half the length
Will it be a spectators allowed event after all?
Any restrictions in place for spectators?
I believe specators are going to be allowed 100% on the stages, they might have some restrictions for the service park though... like only vaccinated to be allowed and the unvaccinated subhuman trash might have to have a negative test like the backwards subhuman apes they are and deserve to be treated as inferior.Quote:

Right now the public is not allowed on forests because of the terrible wildfires (a fire burned some stages today from previews acropolis installations) but i do not think they are going to keep that rule in September... either way i am going, no matter the laws because greek laws are garbage, if greece was a respectable nation then following the laws would be ok but its not...
Also got everything booked. This rally has been on my to-do list for a long time, happy it's finally in the WRC again. Any tips for the stages are more than welcome.
Also will be attending. Arriving Tues, few days to explore Athens, leaving the following Tues.
I plan on attending SSS1, SS2&4 and SS6. Don't even know if that is feasible, but gonna try. Not sure about what stages to hit on Sat...
Still waiting for info on access to service park etc... and I'm a responsible human and have been vaccinated and plan on masking :)
Also already looking forward to my 4th Acropolis.
will be my 22nd
I am very happy to see that big interest for the Acropolis Rally! Old friends are calling me and they are willing to attend after many many years of no interest from them. Can’t wait!
Regarding access to service park etc, there is no announcement yet.
There is no announcement either for SSS yet.
wow!Quote:

ss6 is al long drive but have done that more then once in the past,
if your not in a hurry you can go for ss 2 + 5, time enough for the long drive up to thiva, ss with a lot of very good spectators areas, easy access,....depending on your position, you can see 2 passages of each car on the stage (middle and close to the end, perhaps need a good walk to go there, but there are so many roads on the military venu that can be used for the stage
check rally-maps.com very good basis for plannng access roads
