I thought spectators travelling between stages was considered a bad thing by the sport's gatekeepers...?

    I guess the rally was too popular last year.

    Is/was anyone else planning to go?
    They've run it like this for a few years, £17 for one stage isn't the best value. Saying that, looking at the timings, it's now possible to watch both Cropton & Dalby; in past years that's been a stretch. £22 for a day ticket isn't too bad if you get 2 stages in. In fact if you could get in both stages fully, then I think £30 including a programme would be a fair price.

    I'd certainly consider going; however, I'm without a car at the moment.

    Walking from Staindale to Dalby is a common one to do as well, should be doable (depends on delays).
    If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off!

    I don't think £22 is too bad at all for two stages, if you can do them. I wouldn't mind £15 for one stage if that's all I can do, but I'm really not a fan of having to pay online, particularly paying a fee to the service provider for the pleasure of them taking my details... What's wrong with paying on the gate, plenty of other events have returned to this?

    Good start by Osian Pryce last night. Daylight may show who is really fastest though.

    Yes, 5 secs isn't anything; I think both took care in there, and made sure they get to today. And both mentioned dust....

    Dramatic start after the first stage this morning; Pryce keeps his lead, Bell into 2nd, and Cronin 28 secs behind in 3rd after an overshoot and spin.....

    Osian Pryce is on course for the title having a 30s lead with 2 stages to go.

    He's done it. After being runner-up four times, Osian Pryce is the British Rally Champion!

    Well deserved! Not sure where it leads for Osian however good to have a new name on the trophy. Cronin looked faster past me in Gale Rigg however he already had the back bumper hanging off so was playing catch up from there.
