I am travelling next Saturday to the Turini. I'll spend the night in the Col for the first time, sleeping in a car. Does anybody know what time will the road be closed from La Bollene Vesubie? I was trying to find information in inforoute (the usual pdf), but it seems they haven't uploaded it yet.
Some advice will be welcome (What time does Trois Vallees & Les Chamois' bar close? How much time is needed to leave the Col after the rally? Is the weather really cold? etc.).

I can't help You with road closures but maybe a little bit with the rest. From my experience the weather on Turini feels usually colder than it actually is. It's relatively close to the sea and there is quite humidity which doesn't help at all. Definitely take a lot of warm clothes and good shoes. It's a long day there out in the cold. I have never been on Turini for WRC event but even in IRC it took a lot of time to get out of there. There is always huge number of cars and the traffic moves sloooooowly. If I remember when the stage ended around midnight we got to Menton around 3 a.m.

Anyway enjoy!

Hi dimviii,
I left after the "like button affaire". It was very difficult to me following the threads without that tool because I hadn't time enough. There was some issues with the WRC pickems results too...
I believe I won't carry the camera with me. I'm going to feel the Turini, our religion says that we have to do it once in our lifetime.
Thank you for your help, Mirek. I´ll take it into account.
Any information about bars' closing-opening times?
I am back for a while now and I will be back in Portugal too. I'll go to recognize the stages before the event, giving you some information about them. Some of the old and new roads are minutes from home.
Happy to post and read again at the best rallying forum.

Great to see you back K - check out the revitalised pickem now running in its present form for its second season.

As we say in our land, that's the mentality. At 1600 metres high, by night, in winter, they do a community work.

Of course you're right. I know I'll only see a residue of what it used to be, but we are in the 21st century. People who will go to Fafe or Lousada this year won't know what it was like in the 90's either.
What matter is that I will always be able to say that I spent a whole night at the Turini talking to other rallying fans.
