second day starts at 12:00, 6 stages where on the programm, i saw 4 of them...
left stage 4 after 30 cars, than 20km to stage 6 midpoint, there i watched about 60 cars, back to stage 7 (same as 4, same place) and again after 30 cars to stage 9 at the start, (15 km from stage 7) there i watched 60 cars , but if i had known that the teams do donuts after they cross the finish-ramp, i would have left stage 9 after 30 cars, but anyway, 6 stages out of 9 without problems is quiet ok!
the landscape is fantastic, the people are friendly, the food and wine great and the weather was warm and sunny (20-25°) the only problem in the future may be to much spectators, the final stage was stopped after 80 cars because of to many spectators beside the road, i talked to many people who where already a few times there and they said there are every year more people as the event gets more popular from year to year...
but this is only a problem on the stages, the italiens stay on the stages usually, there is very low traffic between the stages and i had no traffic jam due to the rally all 2 days!
hope i could help you, if you have any further question simply ask!

That info is very helpful, thank you! On the accomodation front did you have any problems finding somewhere to stay and how far did you book in advance? I really have to go as would love to see a Delta S4 in Totip colours in action!

Thanks for the info WRC1
If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off!
Facepalm inducing... and even if we remove the points he got with Rally1 in Estonia, he would still be ahead of the best placed Puma. No excuse for Munster and McErlean to be behind a WRC2 driver.
