Rallye France Alsace 2013

It's a shame there isn't a national rally in France, I was hoping to see some of the 997 GT3 Porsches!

Anyway, me and a friend are making the trip from the South West of England down to Strasbourg. Planning on camping overnight on the stages so hoping for some good weather. Sounds like the entry list is going to be massive and have a good turn out of WRC cars so can't wait. Expecting it to be rammed with spectators though who want to see the battle between Loeb and Ogier.

Can anyone tell me what the marshals are like over there? If we get up early enough can we walk along the roads and find our own spots?

making the trip from South West Wales can't wait now, I asked the same question about the marshals hope its ok to walk the stage before, nothing beats being alone and close to the action.

Where you sailing from?
Don't fancy being stuck in spectator pens all weekend so hoping I can find some nice spots to film at.

Well, if you are from South West of England, maybe you can easily go to Rallye Le Touquet, first round of our national championship. It's 1 hour from Calais, the city where Eurostar arrive in France. So you can easily do a week end there :)
There was some britishs contenders during years there. I remember Ling who did Top 10, but too amator as Duncan Cameron from Scotland or Chris Guichot de Fortis that I saw.

I am thinking about doing Le Touquet next year actually. I will see what my job position is like next year.

There is another thread i started for who is going to rally france. tommeke gave some nice description of what to expect.

Also i have another question, is camping allowed near the stages or there are special car parks that only there this is allowed?

it's as in life : some are nice people, some are stupid ... don't expect them to speak english. Some maybe, but not all (as they didn't need it the rest of the year, and our school level is law).

Before you can easily walk along the roads (but don't arrive too late), but now a new regulation is out since some days, saying that people not standing in "authorized" zone (=spectator zone) are in "forbidden" zone and that all organizers must cancel the stage if people stand there. Let's see if it'll be apply or not. It can maybe affect you...
