Mull may be a remote, foggy and rainy place but for me when it comes to asphalt rallying you can't find anything better than this.

Not awkward in an embarrassing way, if that's what you thought I meant! As an island off the coast of the Scottish Highlands, the population is very small, there isn't much infrastructure and you have to get there by ferry. It's about as remote as you can get in the UK!
I've heard good things about it though, it's been very popular with competitors and spectators, though I think the majority of the latter are locals. The scenery is amazing and roads are like Ireland, but narrower with many blind crests/jumps.
This is well worth watching: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aibcWP-hatwLast edited by the sniper; 16th March 2021 at 16:53.

It's well worth a trip to Mull; the scenery, the rally, and if possible the distillery.....
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

Whilst the Locals are great supporters of the event, i would say the vast majority of spectators are visitors to the island, it has always been a well supported event on a very scenic island, most competitors treat it as a bit of a holiday taking family and friends who all spectate and enjoy the island, a lot will be on the island for over a week, and to get anywhere you generally have to drive over the stages. Accommodation is always difficult with most places boked up the year before at least, but if you dig about you can generally find something.

That's quite a move - a shame they couldn't make it a 2 dayer, but it still should be a decent event; will spectators be allowed by then?

Various things I find odd. We can't have multiday events because of the additional costs for competitors, but there seems to be no problem with just adding extra one day events to the calendar, which is presumably an extra two days with them needing to be there on the Friday...? Also odd that this didn't come up on the Webinar last week. I can only assume they don't think they're going to get in all the other rounds.
I suppose it doesn't really matter by this point, but a one day single venue, somebody's name Stages sponsored by another person's name, hardly stands out as a prestigious event... I'd like to think this is only a Covid era thing. Though to be fair, there's much you could do with the one day single venue concept, if British rallying wasn't commercially moribund.
