Coming from Australia, the fly away, long distance events use different equipment and such. After working at several Rally Australia and Rally New Zealand events and hearing people wish that things were more like the this or that, I am motivated in ensuring that I can make my event better.

Awesome rally as almost always in Sardinia. Great rally for spectators, very friendly marshals and police!
I was a bit unlucky on Friday as I didn't find good spots on SS2 and SS10. Somehow I remember the Olbia stages to be a bit more interesting, but this was 8 years ago.

Then on Saturday I spent most of it at the Tyre Fitting Zone in Budduso, with it's crazy petrol station with it's lively cafe. We even somehow managed to gatecrash a local wedding on our way back to Alghero. Today I went to the stop control on SS20, to see some action and then returned for the podium. I saw the organisers in a flap, realised that they did not have a New Zealand flag to raise for Hayden Paddon's 2nd position. So I then ran to Hyundai to grab Chris Paddon's flag and took it to the podium. My good deed for the day.

Ss10 was not a very good stage from a spectator point of view. Others were very good though. Especially on saturday it was very difficult to not find an amazing spot. But I agree with you about Olbia. Last year, on friday we were near there and we had a great time in those stages.

That spot at 0:53 is simply amazing.

...why to penalize him more because one simple donut at the end? :D

He was not following rules in service park. Speeding and threatening spectators as well as crew members!

Sorry, I was told it was Chris' flag. I called out your name and the Irish girl handed it to me, so I was not sure who owned it. She has it back again, by the way. I guess we will need to see what happens to the referendum soon as to what new flag you will get in the future. :D

I'll pull my head in and I'll look forward to seeing you again at the Donegal Rally.

I wish we had a few organisers here that would ever even consider that some people someplace MIGHT possibly have SOMETHING to teach 'em... but alas if one ever even hints at things saying "well we've had 30-40 entries average for the last 30 years and they have 130-180 in the same time period.....we have 43% of all people who have entered an event between 2000 and 2014 do 3 events and drop out of the sport....maybe we might be able to learn something from where the National program is solid and sustainable and then examine if and how it could be applied here, maybe?"

Standard answer for 30 years "This isn't Europe, everything is different....it'll never be like it is there"

I guess they're right---since they never bother to even look---or ask....

Good on you..
What's your events you organise?

(I've poked around looking at the Oz rally scene since I've sent some of the things I manufacture down to some guys but I haven't found any central forum for all the country, mostly poked in on Brindabella forum for ACT)
