    Very heavy rain for Wales this weekend and Monday, then a drier spell before the rally, but more heavy rain is forecast for the Saturday of the rally...

    Sounds like a traditional wet and muddy Rally GB is in prospect.

    As has been said Great Orme is lovely in the sun BUT 4 years ago in the wind it was difficult to stand upright, there is no shelter and the predicted rain will drive in off the sea. I'd say if you have already paid then 1 pass of Alwen or Brenig then beat the crowds as after the second run it will be a 20mph crawl to the M6.
    I'm not bothering with the extra mileage / hotel cost on Sunday as most years the rally is in cruise mode so I'm off home after Myherin on Saturday and will watch on Sunday on my laptop in the warm, with maybe a single malt to watch the PS before the afternoon soccer
    Kris Meeke got fired -PSG so terrified they quit!

    Citroen preview:
    Buoyed by its recent 1-2 finish in Turkey, @Citroen heads for @WalesRallyGB in confident mood. @SebOgier & @EsapekkaLappi, who finished 1st & 3rd last year, will be aiming to be among the leaders this time around.

    "It’s also worth mentioning that the triangle junction chicane used last year is removed now"

    AnttiL, you mention this in your Wales route preview about Elsi. Is this the hairpin/triangle chicane that was at the spectator area last year? Or are you on about another part of the stage?

    Yes, exactly this. The direction is now reversed and they skip taking the extra detour.

    Thanks mate. So as the cars are coming from right to left this year instead of left to right, where do the cars actually go if I was standing in the position that the guy filming that video was?

    Just wondering, as I'm debating watching the first 11/15 cars at Elsi before moving on to Aberhirnant (time will be tight). But if the main spectator point at elsi is shit, I'd rather go to Aberhirnant early instead and find a brilliant spot on that stage before the Marshals try and stop people walking on the stage.

    Hi,

    planning my first rally GB, and I have some questions for most common spectators.

    Does any of you plan to catch non-oficial roads to reach the stage? Is it doable?

    Thank you!

    Unless you're local, don't bother. Also, a lot of the 'other roads' are closed, or only for competitors/ officials......

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

    er88, think I’m right in saying that they miss out the small triangular section and use the piece of stage just behind it you can just about see.
