I was there Thursday. It was the offroad track in the middle which threw the dust up. Was at the stand just below the tree line. Then carried on to watch the off road stage. First car round threw up a dust cloud which nearly obscured the stand we were just in.

It’s always been an issue with the middle off-road course they do run a bowser round to spray the track but I suspect with the conditions that’s drying as quick as it leaves the tank.

From watching on youtube earlier the dust cloud at the top of the hill looked redicilious and should have had the bowsers damping the off road track down.

It’s always dusty, if you walk up to the rally state you come back with ruined shoes, black snot, itchy eyes and grit in your teeth.

I was parked right next to the tractor route too, the car looks like it’s done the Paris-Dakar rally.

Yes, I would have been quite grumpy about that. I understand you have to shell out extra for the Performance Parking.

You do, and I drove in and out with the roof down, the dashboard is filthy too.

Really good clean required tomorrow.
