It looks like you're right. That's what Rally of Portugal did in 2012. The difference is that Gwydyr and Penmachno will be in the itinerary on Sunday too.
I forgot to write that there are two more stages to be announced.

According to the document above it refers to Spectator stage A in Mid Wales on saturday and Spectator stage B in Mid Wales on Sunday - I think it may be Powis Castle near Welshpool?, makes sense from looking at the map, with maximising the draw from the population bases for the weekend - hopefully after the media and nightly tv coverage have encouraged casual spectators out.

Now we can see on the image that makien_fan posted that the first one will be on Saturday and the other one on Sunday. You're right that those will be the spectator stages.

Yes one is in Mid-wales and the other North-Wales. Any ideas what those may be?

You edit fast, but I caught you :p .

Now we can start to make our plans. Some friends of mine live in Cardiff, so most likely I'll go there to follow the rally one or two days.

My mistake - of course that is to make time for the spectator stage!

Well that looks compact and testing - no doubt the FIA stewards will complain about the lack of 5 star accommodation, I'm genuinely excited. I have my accomodation booked at Halkyn for Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday nights and just the one in-car 'slumber' on Friday night, Dyfnant I think.

Ticket price news?

BTW, Great Orme as the last stage & PS of the rally will be very interesting. I can imagine that the helicopter camera won't lose the track of Ogier through the stage :) .
