The rally and atmosphere have been very pleasant. The coast line is riddled with tourists (mainly Brits and Germans). I don't see anyone scared or acting bizarre. The locals are very kind especially outside of Marmaris and the organizers have been extremely friendly. Even the stage workers introduced themselves and told us to have a blast. People are drinking beer everywhere so its pretty laid back. Actually, in Finland or Germany you are not allowed to drink on the stages right? I'm not sure about the drinking laws here, but we saw plenty of people drinking and none of them were arrested. My only complaint was that the service park was quiet without many food options. That might change as today was shakedown.

Lets try to be positive and enjoy the rally.
