do you think you will get from -
SS4
Port Talbot 2
14:10
to
SS6 (should be dark for this stage)
Rheola 2

in that time slot?
realisticly -
14.10 start, say your mid stage - 1st car passes you 14.15, then 2 minute intervals, watch top 20 cars = 14.55
walk back to car - 10 - 15 mins = 15.10
get manouvered and join the queue of 400 rally fans deciding on exactly that idea = get out of the stage = 15.50
drive to Rheola - in the traffic queue's - what, an hour = 16.50
dohh :?

Hotel... ofcourse!
Last year was gale force winds and heavey rain... ain't no way I'm being hardcore and pitching a tent in the middle of a forest!
Don't panic dear!
Plan to watch the front runners WRC on SS4 and leave aat 3pm
Allow 15 min to get back to car and out
It's about a 30min blast along M4 / A465 from car park A (SS4) to car park D (SS6).
Usually traffic can be a bit hevey first thing in the morning when peeps are trying to get into the car parks.
