I thought it was last weekend?

I was going to be going this year, until I found out that they'll charge you over £120 to stand in a public forsest next to a public dirt track to watch the cars go by....!

When are they actually going to go back to it being a worthy Rally GB rather than the international Welsh Rally.

Yes I've been meaning to make it to that for a couple of years.

The latest WRC cars are very fast, but too efficient so there is not real sensation of driving talent.

I'll be at as many stages as i can manage. I've booked a day off work for the Monday too.

At least we won't have North Wales Police persecuting specators and competitors with their usual speed camera antics. You can keep the WRC

Not quite the same as last year - see here www.walesrallygb.com/artman/publish/index.php

I could only make the Friday am this year and whilst the Margam Forests are some of the best sections I'll be dammed if I'm paying £35 (mind you if I get up early enough I could walk in the back )
