[WRC] Vodafone Rally de Portugal 2019

[Simmi]

A few things still to fall into place but it looks like I can hopefully make the trip back to Portugal this year. Second time in the north!

Mexico - Portugal - Finland - GB has the makings of a nice year spectating.

Hi!

Wanted to ask about tickets. Looked it up that rally passes go for 300 euros this year. Everywhere else rally passes are usually under 100 euros. Why is it so expensive in Portugal or is there a possibility that cheaper tickets will come for sale?

In Rally Portugal "Rallypass" is something different to other WRC rounds. There is no ticket needed on the normal special stages of Rally Portugal expect some special places like shakedown finish or superspecial Lousada. (approx. 15 euros)

These "rallypass" is more like a VIP-pass with hospitality tent, grandstands, special parking etc. There is a special zone on a stage per day. This zone is just for these rallypass guests.

Friday: SS Arganil or SS Lousada
Saturday: SS Amarante
Sunday: SS Fafe or SS Montim

Anyone interested for car sharing - hotel / apartment rent?

Unfortunately due to some cancellation, I have to re-plan my trip to Portugal and if anyone interested joining me is welcome.
I just need the info ASAP.

Thanks, Sash

Spectator recce video of the new stage Lousã (SS1/4). Quite small road compared to what the rally usually offers

I did the stage twice and I didn't find it narrow. Arganil is much narrower than Lousã.

Arganil I haven't yet seen. The road width varies constantly but around 4:00 on that video it looks like one car width. Obviously the camera lense may fool a bit, but I've seen another video of the ending and it looked similarly narrow. The beginning seems to be wider, but conversely rougher.

Also, I would claim that the Saturday and Sunday stages are for the most part wider than this, but of course I haven't driven them myself.

From 1:35 to 7:36 the stage is the same, with one small difference, there are no trees now!

Thanks, I'll take a look at that later on!

EDIT: Looks narrow and rough for sure. At 8:25 it joins this year's route again, where it becomes wider and faster.
