Sounds good to me. It's a good few months off yet so plenty of time to organise.

do you think you will get from -
SS4
Port Talbot 2
14:10
to
SS6 (should be dark for this stage)
Rheola 2
16:15
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.
hmm, ok
but ive done it the past 16 years (blimey) and you cant just 'nip' between stages, even in a van with flasing lights and 'network Q rally decals' on the side - not i would ever try that
the days have gone where you took a week off work and drove around the country watching 3 different stages a day
lmao well you lot can wade around in the mud ill wave at you from the vip tent at walters arena lol!
