Yes it is free an what an amazing event it is too! I got back at 1am this morning and still too knackered too write anything in great detail, but we did over 1200km road miles, 12 stages (Plus one road section!) and saw some great action in a stunning location.
I will post some pics and videos in the next couple days!
edit: I think I might have seen you Tolis at shakedown near the finish, but wasnt sure so didnt say anything in the end!
the rally has no ticket to watch the stages or the service park, but the program was never free, it was usually sold in news stands or was given along with some car magazines...Quote:

now of course is a bit late... i doubt the rally will hold its place.
I was at the waterspash in the end of Shakedown Allyc! You should have talked to me! :) Waiting for your photos and videos!
Gutted, I knew I should have done! Hope you had a great rally :)

if anyone will/can record and post it somewhere will be very nice. hope this in not the official wrc footage though
it will be a shame if Acropolis will no longer be part of wrc calendar. from the comments from everyone in the forum, it seems that it is a real classic and shame to loose it. i cant remember to read so many positives for other rallies here. i was planning to visit this year but did not manage in the end, hope that I will have the chance again at some point. for me it seems only wrc this year it Wales and get ripped off by their silly prices... :(
^^^This...only I got to an extra stage because I dug in and walked up to the start of Ziria :D (we parked in the town, not realising that there was a car park near the top). Was worth it for the view though, wow!! Was quite chuffed to manage Shakedown, QS, Kineta, Thiva, Elikonas 1, Bauxites 1 & 2, Thiva 2, Klenia, Kefalari, Ziria, Klenia 2, Ziria 2 and Aghii Theodori 1&2, even if it did mean a lot of rushing round, the occasional wrong turn and only seeing the top 17 through most stages (although the skill level dropped off so severely after Mikkleson that it didn't matter too much). Given a bit more effort/going to different stage locations I reckon we could have made Kefalari 2 as well, plus we blew off the power stage in favour of a much needed shower on the beach in Loutraki.Quote:

Sebastien Loeb is well above all the others, the guy is perfect, rarely make mistakes, and has the best car between hands. While this lasts, Loeb and Citroen will always win. And has there is no champions without lucky, he also has the lucky when he needs. No doubts about that.
WRC never had such a perfect driver, and that's why he is well above all the others. It's a wast of time (and it's not fair) to criticize Solberg and Latvala because they fail, and they fail because they have to take much more risks to be able to challenge Citroen and Loeb. In Greece the Ford boys made what was possible to do, and failled, they and the team.
