Well, its Tempest time again. Website here:
http://www.tempestrally.com/
Was fairly popular last year, especially with the Surrey guys and girls. Some details from last years thread about the event:
Quote:
-The stages are all based around the Aldershot/Fleet area, with the furthest south being in the Longmoor military land. The spectator stages are Warren, Yateley and Rushmoor Arena. Further stages are run at Longmoor and Ash, but these two are designated as non-spectator stages (and have no spectator facilities - no loos, food etc or official parking)
- Stages typically start at 9am and finish by 5:30pm. Last years final stages all ended in the dark.
- Unlike a lot of other rallies, the event is divided into two categories - Tempest4 and Tempest2 (4wd and 2wd respectively). Rather than follow each other around the stages during the day, Tempest4 starts out in one location which Tempest2 starts somewhere completely different. This means the spectators can choose to focus on watching 4wd or 2wd cars as they please, and that both categories start in the morning at the same time on unused stages. This benefits the 2wd competitors as they don't end up starting/finishing later, plus is means everyone has an equal share of driving on cut-up stages from earlier runs.
- Car sharing recommended to reduce costs for everyone and parking spaces used - especially if watching from Longmoor/Ash.
- This years stage running order/times are still to be confirmed by the organisers.

Last year I spectated from Longmoor, Warren and Ash. Might stay within the Warren/Yateley area for most of the day this year as less driving about. Who fancies it?
