WRC Testing

[AndyRAC]

On this occasion there were at least 3 photographers there, together with BBC Wales Today, S4C's Ralio and a crew filming for the BBC Wales Rally GB highlights programme.......

Any national media ??

Is that allowed in the WRC that crews are testing on some parts of the actual rally? I see that Kuipers was testing at Sweet Lamb..

Don't think so...

66.2 BANNED TESTING

banned:
...
66.2.3 On any road which is or might be used as a special stage of any current Championship rally.
...

I think that every year someone is testing on Sweet Lamb before Rally GB, isn't that true? For sure I remember Ogier and Prokop with C4 WRC two years back.

Well, Sweet Lamb is like a special complex and it might be in the list of some manufacturers for that regulation point:
66.1.1 On a testing site proposed by the Manufacturer or WRC Team and notified to the FIA.

Sweet Lamb also has several kms of roads that are not on the WRGB stage, similarly the Walters (Arena) Complex. Provided the testing is done in agreement with FIA / Organisers that the testing does not use any of the stage route, even if it is just a cross roads 'going the other way' it can be used for pre event testing.
