Rally for me is experience with some wow moments, but also an adventure when I can just pick my spots or even if I have to walk many kms it's part of an adventure.

While most of it admittedly comes down to spectator management, safety plans, compliance with regulations, legal liability, ect, part of me thinks that some Rally organisers nowadays are completely dethatched from what it is to be a modern day, herded spectator. Sometimes I wonder how many organisers, usually older guys, actually got into the sport during this era where spectators are just 'accommodated' where it logistically works best, regardless of their experience. I would imagine that most organisers came to love the sport as real spectators, getting a plan together, chasing the cars, out for an adventure and the thrill and satisfaction of experiencing a great spot you've discovered. Yet, doing it officially on many rallies, spectators nowadays rarely get that, they can just say they saw the rally... The whole spirit of it is lost.

Maybe this is just the way is has to be in some countries, but the passing of the true rally experience must be lamented.

As it is though, as you guys will no doubt have seen over the years, we moaned here about Rally GB, but your set up sounds way worse. Rally GB was primarily organised the way it was out of fear of and compliance with UK H&S culture, but there was always a door left ajar for the 'freedom' option, so long as you didn't take the p*ss. Whereas it seems you're getting screwed largely for financial gain? The food and drink situation sounds like a joke!
