WALES RALLY GB 2014

[Gaz-M]

Hi folks, me and a mate coming down from Scotland to the WRC for the first time.

We will be down for Saturday and Sunday, can you's please tell me what our best plan is?

What stages should we attempt to see and what viewing areas to head for?

Last stage on Sunday a must, looking over the loch?

Any advice much appreciated!!

I'd definitely be heading for Brenig on the Sunday which is also the Power Stage.

ps. It's a 'Llyn' in these parts

[Gaz-M]

Brenig and only Brenig yeh?


Thanks, Llyn instead of Loch is it?

[Fly_Half]

Two stages run on Sunday are Alwen and Brenig, although both run along their respective lakes (Llyn Alwen and Llyn Brenig), the Brenig stage is a bit more open so is your best bet for viewing.

And yes, your Lochs are our Llyns.

.... and for non UK residents this pair of Celtic chaps are referring to 'lakes'

[Doon]

Technically they are both reservoirs anyway Which are more 'dammed river', than lake.

Hi all,

New poster but long time reader (many years in fact).

I was hoping someone could give some viewing tips for Dyfnant on Saturday, we're planning on watching both runs of the WRC field and the national field in between. Can anyone help with the following:

1.) The rally planner says arriving "just a couple of hours" before the first car won't guarantee a parking space, how much should I realistically allow? Driving down from Manchester and don't really want to leave before 5am!

2.) What gives access to better viewing, car park M or car park N?

3.) Any particular recommended spots? I want to steer clear of the spectator pens and don't mind walking to find a high commitment section. OS map references would be ideal if anyone can share some.

Cheers!

I hope Kris Meeke will impress us in Wales this weekend

I think we all hope that, but I wouldn't hold out a much hope of a high placing as Kris has little experience on Rally GB with only one recent appearance on the event.

I doubt he will be on the pace of the VW's here and I think the best he can do is a top 5 place if a few others dont finish...

EDIT: Meeke's last Rally GB outing ... in a Bentley ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IZO5OBcn3A&sns=em
