Yes. Just wondered what the atmosphere was like as the rallies I've attended this year in the UK haven't been much fun. Marshalling (and I'm not one who likes listening to the sound of my own voice) its been a bit tense and when watching its been like playing hide and seek whilst being public enemy number one.

Saw quite a lot of red and white tape on tv and obviously square junctions mean viewing is normally from back up the slip road behind the line of travel. Jumps are of course verboten...

Like Nelly said there was still scope to walk into the stages - providing you didn't get there last-minute. I thought around the spectator areas there was a lot of unnecessary taping and I think that's only going to get worse by the sounds of new guidelines coming from the MSA. There was absolutely nothing to see at some of those junctions. So it will definitely be a case of people trying harder to steer clear of spectator areas. And like you say there is a feeling of playing hide and seek at times. Or being told to move and then moving back. A lot still depends on the mentality of the marshal too.

It was fine if you kept away from the main spectator areas, which never really interest me any way. We could walk down the road and pic our own spot on every stage.

Yeah what a nice rally with very friendly people, organization, spectators, marshalls everywhere. I was really surprised not only from the stages & landscape. Will come back for sure!

Usual superb high quality video highlights from Flyin Finn Motorsport, a lot of action and offs featured, didn't realise Ahlin's and Blomberg's was so bad:

That place where Ahlin crashed is very nice!

That place where Ahlin crashed is very nice!

But not for Ahlin!

Thanks Noel for the link. That's the best CoI video that I have seen so far!
