Some shuffling with stages from day to another.
Icmeler now opens the rally. It's a quite fast stage with several tarmac patches (Ogier won this one with the hand-fixed car)
Cicekli now driven only once on Sunday. It was the slowest stage last year, very twisty.
New stage Kizlan driven twice on Saturday.
The Ovacik stage is dropped from Sunday. This is where Tänak almost went off, and some JWRC driver went straight in a surprising corner after a long climb.
The 38 km Cetibeli will probably be the longest gravel stage of the season
Some changes in length to the stages here and there.

Last year my trip to WRC Rally Turkey was organized by a travel agency (group travel).
This year the travel agency won't include this rally in their plans.
Do you know of any travel agencies organizing group travel to WRC Turkey 2019?
Thank you
It's a pretty simple rally to do by your self and you have the freedom. Easy stage access for spectators, I do not believe people need tickets as it's free range when you get on a stage but of course in safe places. Happy to share some good locations/stages.
Thank you for the reply. I know many things about this rally since I was there last year spectating SSS, Ula, Datca, Cicecli, Icmeler and Marmaris PS.
I was just hoping I would not do this trip alone.
Some tips:
- Tickets are not needed for most SS, except for the PS (president Erdogan was present and the safety rules were TOO strict).
- SSS in Marmaris was spectated by myriads of people but the mountains had almost no fans at all.
- Service park during the first days was that empty you could have a chit chat with the drivers :P
- Access to most SS is relatively easy and Marmaris is a nice city with lots of European tourists.
It is now less than two months before the rally and the site is not yet updated with 2019 content...
Is it better to buy a trusted GPS device instead of using a smartphone for traveling to the stages? Last year I had big problems with smartphone's signal.
The VIP experience was 100 Euro per person last year and it was an amazing value. They certainly lost money on me and my wife as we drank tons of wine and ate all the free food. The boat ride and stage watching from the sea was also a cool experience. If they offer it again at that price I would seriously consider it. We didn't even have to drive one of the days as they had a bus shuttling everyone around.
Hmm any info on that VIP service? That sounds like an amazing value.
Booked it directly from their website last time. Keep checking the website and act fast. They sold out really quick!
Hyundai:
Neuville-Mikkelsen-Sordo
Confirmed
The only real question there was Sordo or Breen. Sordo won Sardinia and slow gravel is atm prbly his best surface, but didn't drive there last year. Breen did well on friday last year but didn't drive much after that since the car burned.

Entries closed today
Entrylist should be out Friday.
Maybe Paddon will make it? Together with Wales probably his best chance before Australia.
I'd say it's pretty sure MSport enters Evans, even if they have to replace him later in worst case.

Official one (same names than ewrc has)
Just 31 entries? It looked better last year, didn't it?

Gryazin skips Turkey. They won't fix the crashed car from Barum, instead go on later with a Fabia EVO
Route update. Ula, Kizlan and Yesilbelde changed the most.

Route preview.
- Mostly same stages as last year with some small changes here and there
- New stage Kizlan on Saturday, it's very fast, wide and smooth. Completely different to the other stages. Dare I predict 120 km/h average speeds?
- Last year's fastest stage Göcke has most of its route replaced with a narrow and technical road.
- The rough ending from the Ula stage is removed. This is where Evans and Østberg broke their cars.
- Friday has more than half of the rally length.
wow, they really want to make life hard for the TOP3 on Friday, half the distance with one day...
although last year Neuville lead with Ogier second after first day
If we didn't like Panzerplatte stage in Germany because it's "lottery"... then entire Turkey is like "Rally Casino". You can be good, but you NEED to have luck also.
This event is for sure really challenging for cars and drivers. Abdolute a limit tester for everybody.
Hope weather will be good too :)

Evans not starting
That's it, set to return in Wales https://www.m-sport.co.uk/single-pos...ETURN-IN-WALES
These kind of injuries take time and won`t fully recover at all quite often..
"The rough ending from the Ula stage is removed. This is where Evans and Østberg broke their cars."
This is everything that's wrong with modern WRC.
Experiencing difficulty?
2005: upgrade the car, drive more carefully
2019: make the rally easier and shorter or just scrap it altogether
Most people on this forum were last year screaming how wrong is it to have a rally where you can't push 100% without destroying the car.
We don’t know why it was removed.
