It is madness to go to the stages 3,5 hours before the first car pass. It is so boring to just sit in the forest for so long looking at the sky… And to be honest, this is not a way to attract new fans and a very bad thing for this sport.
I have been to three countries to watch rallies abroad. Always I was getting up very early in the morning and always I was there on time and always I found a spot and watch the stage. If I cannot do the same in Acropolis (as I did all previous years) and if I have to camp overnight, I prefer to stay home and stop watching this ridiculous thing.

I know. I also do that. But not 3,5.

I thought true hardcore fans (who don't watch in certain group areas) could be in the forrest days before and after rally cars..

Sweden, Finland and Spain I have had the pleasure of arriving 0,5-1 h before the start. So far haven't had any major issues with it. Ofc route planning is the key and usually I don't try to spectate all of the stages. I think I have experience major traffic issues about 5 times - once in Spain 2018 on sunday morning on the mountains, once in Colin's Crest (not going there ever again, quite boring place to me), once in Sweden 2005 when the ticket sales people didn't really understand where they are and we had to walk about 4,5 km (we arrived to the spot just in time) and couple of times in Finland, I think once it was Ouninpohja stage in the Kakaristo (surprise, surprise...) intersection probably in 2002.

I know. But this is the Covid protocol issued by the Ministry of Sports. In the two last hillclimbs I went (Ritsona and Kimi) the police closed all access roads at 7:00 am and the first car was at 10:00. It is the first time I watch these two hillclimbs with only my friends around. Usually there are thousands of spectators in them. It was strange to be alone but, to be honest, we liked it.
