    Does anyone know if the 100 euro VIP pass worth it? Or any of the other stage passes?

    At $100 the value seems good, but nobody knows since this is the first time the rally is being hosted in Marmaris. The Daca boat stage seems to be a cool idea if it pans out well. They also say free alcohol for VIP members. Not sure what this means. The description is a little vague, but when you compare to Finland where the VIP packages are well over $100 just for one stage, the Turkey deal seems great.

    Historically the best rally road located at west in Karpaty mountains. Most of national rally events located there. Before well-known situation, we have a rally to be candidate-rally for WRC in plans - Aleksandrov rally . Only now championship start to grow again, and hopefully in some years we will have another candidate event for ERC/WRC

    I also liked Yalta Rally back in the IRC days. But unfortunately Russia had to annex Crimea...

    I have never spectated a rally event before. I really wanted to go in Poland back in 2016 but i was scared, didn't know what to do, then again a few times in local rallies in Turkey but now WRC is in Turkey since i am Turkish and in Turkey i already bought plane tickets and accomodation for Marmaris but i don't own a car, so i still don't know how am i supposed to go rally stages. They are really far away from each other. Can someone with the experience give tips? How do you go to rally stages, rent a car? I don't really know how to drive a car either...

    I've never tried it before but I think some rallies do have a shuttle bus service out to stages from service. I had a quick look on the website but couldn't see anything sadly. But worth double checking. If you have a driving license and you've already paid to head over then I think you're going to need to rent a car. Just look at the maps on the website, pick a stage and then find where that is on an actual map. I drop a pin on my phone which can get you exactly where you need to be, versus a postcode on a satnav. Some events are well signposted, for others it's not existent. Don't know how busy it will be in Turkey but aim to get there 90mins early possibly.

    I can't think of any other sport that is as hard or demands as much of its spectators than rallying. But it's worth it.

    In addition to a car, motorbike or in some cases bicycle could also work, or be even better. Be prepared to also walk a relatively long distance from the parking place to the spot where you spectate the rally. And some of that walking might be outside a proper road, so have good shoes with you. And also pack some food and drink to go, because there might not be anything available at the particular place.

    Actually, here you can see several stages very close to icmeler, there is very good and cheap taxi connection between Icmeler and Marmaris, or you can even walk.
    So, minimum programme is that there is city stage in Marmaris, Powerstage (14_17), Shakedown, Service and SS10_13 are all biking or even hiking distance from Marmaris. For other stages (SS2, 5, 16), you can use small taxis that travel between towns (Gökce town) and again, you can actually walk to the stages with some effort. But be aware of very hot weather, everybody, take a lot of drink, +35 is note a joke.
