It was actually the fast right at the bottom of the ski slope in Gartheiniog (below Coed Mawr - SH 821 118). This has caught a few out over the years, but Matthew's crash was probably the biggest.
Luckily for Matthew and Scott Martin (his navigator who was also badly injured) Mark Higgins & Bryan Thomas had broken down not far away and had gone to watch at this spot when Matthew crashed.
They both immediatly helped and probably saved Matthews life.

It's only for show. There's no really fast Italians in WRC these days.

Where do you reckon the best place to go on the Friday is? I'm unsure to go do one Dyfi in the morning, then the other in the afternoon, does anyone know what any of Fridays stages are like to spectate on?

Dyfnant is usually good - however spectating on National/BRC events is completely different to spectating on W RallyGB.....so I imagine the usual spots might not be used.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

Need help - not been to the GB Rally since it was the RAC RALLY
Dear All
New to the forum. Have been out of the country for the past 15 years and am now back and want to go watch the GB Rally. Used to watch it when it was the RAC Rally in Yorkshire and further north. Am planning to go on the Saturday - can you recommend which is the best stage - looking at Hafren or Myherin - any advice on parking, best place to watch etc. Any help would be gratefully received.
Thanks

For Sweet Lamb do notice it gets VERY muddy in the car park that has a festival like atmosphere. There is plenty of room to park. You can watch the cars for approximately 2 minutes with very nice sequence of bend hairpin water splashes and jumps. Also there is always massive queue to get out of the stage.
For Myherin you get 3-4 possible spots with nice views, the is a turn left with fast approach in first portion of the allowed viewing positions, then a sequence of fast bend and at the end a uphill tight right bend (almost a hairpin). Parking is on the side of forest road, but marshall control it fine.
It was on qualifying stage, he rolled the car and it was said that he won't be able to start the rally. But team managed to repair the car and he did start and dominated drivers like Rossel, Gryazin...
