Wales Rally

[Wildsea]

Hi, i was thinking about going to the Welsh rally in November with my brother. I've never been to a rally before and was just needing advice, about what day to go, type of ticket etc.

from memory you can buy a day pass for friday (£35) or a stage pass on saturday (£22). the difference being friday ticket gets you to entry to all stages whereas you have to buy tickets for indiviual stages on the saturday thus you buy a ticket for Epynt and spend all day there or buy a ticket for Halfway as well or buy a ticket for another stage. I think they are trying to get people to stay put on saturday to ease traffic and extract more money from you via burger cans and merchandise etc...

If you can do it, i would recommend going on friday, watching one stage, then getting to another for the second run. my plan is to go on friday, watch the first run through Resolfen then get to Walters Arena for the second run that day. the second run through Rheloa is at 1630 so should be dark enough to have a good ahtmosphere.

still begrudge paying £70 for two tickets as the rally ireland is free (and yes, they cant "police" the Rally Ireland stages like they can the South Wales rally but still!.....)

still, hope that a stage at dusk, at long last, will be worth the money! the tailenders through Rheola in the dark will be pretty good fun!

Thanks for that. It seems to be quite a bit of money, taking into account food, hotels etc.

Any news on the spectators that got injured? I heard they were in a serious condition on the radio

Some stunning pictures guys. I decided against going this year. I was just wondering, is the rally GB always based in Wales, or do they rotate between Sotland, Wales and England? I know there is a rally Ireland, so i take it this covers both Northern and Southern?

Thanks

Wildsea they don't rotate it - officially it is Wales Rally GB and that's how it stays. There is talk of increased investiture from the Forestry commission et al to improve facillities over the next few years.

I'd really love to know the ISO, speed etc settings you used for some of those photos above, mine are too amateurish for my liking. Any tips greatly appreciated.

Thanks alot, a trip to Wales next year it is. I have familly in Gloustershire, so i can pop in on tham on the way.
