Hope so - I think I'd have to visit my family who live in Sunderland :-)

Stages on the 'Coast'... ??.
Yorkshire Forests as well as Keilder would be good. How about a Harrogate start too to bring back some real history.
A classic event running in front would be good too. Mind you come to think of it, why don't this just tag 10 WRC (sorry S2000) cars on the back of the Roger Albert Clarke

No offence to the owners of the Welsh stages but it would make a nice change to drag the rally out of Wales and back to killer Keilder!

I would probably start watching it again! Wales rally GB was great to start with but spoiled it in the end. I remember the first year i went with my old man. We paid for the car only, following year it was per person, following year price rose, following year a day pass was required certain roads were closed that turned south wales into a great car park and you could only really get to two stages in a day limiting spectating time on the first stage. The following year they changed it again and we have never been back since.

Now i go to the robin hood forest stages and it is brilliant.

It would be nice to see but i doubt it would be any cheaper than the Rally of a bit of Wales....unless of course you happen to know your way around Kielder, The Yorkshire Forests, Grizedale etc
