Re: Vodafone Rally de Portugal 2014
So what is the estimated cost of a pass for shakedown, Friday and Saturday ? I know I can do Wednesday to Saturday for 150 pounds (inclusive of petrol and food!!!)
Re: Vodafone Rally de Portugal 2014
I think its free? Already a couple of years ago we were there :)

My friend, no pass! Neither in Lisbon super special, or the WRC Fafe Sprint (that I advise that it's the insane thing you'll see this year). You can come, and spend the pass money on our fantastic portuguese beer :P

:eek: Really!!! (so what are the tickets being sold on the Rally website?)
If it really is free then I could attend, from my home in London, for less than the cost of attending WRGB. I'd discounted travelling to Lisbon for 1 stage so that on Wednesday after s/d I could try the Sagres (Specially Alcoholic Gut Rot Emetic Solution) and spend Thursday recceing spectator points. Arrive Wednesday morning and leave Saturday night. This is becoming a persuasive proposition!!

As I said in a previous year the rally pass avaiable on the rally's website is not really worth it, it grants you some exclusive parking spots near the service park and an exclusive spectator zone for each day of the rally. You dont need it to spectate and you can also acess the service park without it.

Thank you, I had a recollection that you had said this in the past. In which case I shall be on e-bay raising some cash over the next 2 weeks!!

Great, I hope it all comes through and you can enjoy the rally. And as said before in this thread the beer is great and very cheap :D .
Re: Vodafone Rally de Portugal 2014
Any news about participants yet?
Re: Vodafone Rally de Portugal 2014
So flights, hotel, hire car all booked for this rally. Will be doing Fri/Sat/Sun.
Encouraged to hear about the cheap beer. Only thing that would make me feel better are some decent maps. Might just be a case of following the crowds.
