Have fun there man, beautiful stages so far from what I've seen. I just watched the last SS from the morning loop and I didn't notice anything odd. If there's some sort of directive for cameramen or live directors to 'cut out' spectators, then I would understand that. We all know spectating a rally is in the outside air, the risk is small. But I can assure you that if they broadcast images with large crowds from this rally, there will be criticism. Nowadays perception is more important than facts (in the minds of the decision makers).

In short: I want to spectate Ypres Rally in august. And if my government sees large crowds in other rallies, there's a chance they won't allow it. Meanwhile, enjoy your rally!
