Tempest Rally

[Mark A S]

Comming up on 3rd November, http://www.tempestrally.com/

Several good spectator stages, probably the best forestry rally in Hampshire

Come along and say hello

Cheers
Mark.

Went to this a couple of years ago - will be going again this weekend.
Was a very good (and cheap!) day out.

Don't suppose anyone knows where the non-spectator stages are being held? A colleague was very local to the area so was a bit of a guide last year - but he has now moved out of the area.

Thanks

The one I know is at the ash ranges in pirbright.

[Mark A S]

Warren Heath 2.5 miles north west of Blackbushe airport, Pavillion, just east of Ewshot, Rushmoor arena, Ash just west of Pirbright, as has been said and Longmoor Army camp, which is deffo no spectators.
Main service area is Rushmoor overlooking the stage there.
There are 2 rallies in one, 4wd and 2wd both covering the same stages, but at different times, which should be up on the Rally web site.

Thanks guys. So Longmoor sounds off-limits, but Ash we think can be seen? Something tells me it was near Pitbright that I went a couple of years ago.

Guys,

Best to use the places recommended by the organisers:

WARNING FROM ORGANISERS said:

Those expecting to visit [other]these locations should be aware that the MoD have closed off all parking in and around these locations by placing earth bunds around each gate and entry points - Parking on the roads is at owners risk and I am advised by the local police that they will be operating a Tow Away policy for anyone parked illegally on verges or on clearways (Not at the behest of the organisers) as they consider the range roads 'highly-dangerous'.

Also, you may not be aware of this, but the majority of rallying in the South of England takes place on MoD property. The MoD are *very* sensitive to spectators, who they may class as tresspassing. Hence, rallying in the area could be completely decimated if the MoD take issue with spectators attending areas other than those advertsied by the rally organisers.

Please don't let it be you that causes the MoD to withdraw their permission.

You can, however, access the MoD areas and get right up close to the competing cars, if you volunteer as a marshal. More details here:

Thanks!

The weathers looking good!

Pavilion in the morning, Warren in the afternoon. Sorted!

I'm heading to rushmoore arena for 10 ish, looking forward to it! :-)

We're off to Warren, not sure whether to get there for the 1st run or not yet as there seems to be a big gap between run 1and 2.

A cracking day and I made a compilation of some of the video and stills I shot. Enjjoy.

Just found this post. I'm local and watched along the Pirbright/mytchett area. There were a few cars and spectators there and there were also some marshalls too.

Nice photos Nick, did you have a press pass type thing to get that close to the action or did you just wander around? Couldn't watch the vid on my I pad but I'm sure it was pretty good going by your last autosolo instalment :-)

Just went for a wander really, no press pass.

The video wont play on mobile devices due to the backing track I chose, works OK on a PC though.

You could wander anywhere you like as long as you were sensible.

Two taken by my missus who is just getting into photography and provides me with a great excuse to go and watch rallying!
