Default Re: Wales Rally GB.....

went many years ago when you could park in Falmer Palmers (probably Farmer Evans) field for £5 per car and walk into the woods.
This was back in 1999 and was fantastic (it was my first experience of mass Scoobies parked up on the stage, probably SIDC) I bought my first scoob the following year.

Went again in 2001 got well pissed off.
Too much traffic and too little time to go between stages.
Day rover pass was about £25 per person, not per car.

Since then they have put the price up even more and limited what stages you get on the Day Rover pass and from what I can gather, limit were you can view.

Rallying is all about walking round the stage to get several vantage points and diving in a bush when the whistle blows.
Not standing behind fencing and being hearded like sheep.

Hence have not been to Rally GB since.
Although every year I think about it, and regret not being there on the weekend.

sorry... RANT over....

A more friendly event is the Tempest in Aldershot which is 8th November IIRC.
