I'll be in Greystoke all day with a camera or 2.

It seems Steve Perez is putting in a late entry, so you can add another Focus WRC to the list.

Oh yes. First stage at Hobcarton has long been a favourite of mine.

A bit of a heads up...

The first car timings on the website are wrong. They should be..

Hobcarton 8.43
Comb 8.55
Greystoke 1 9.49
Grizedale North 11.52
Grizedale South 12.12
Greystoke 2 14.36
Wythop 15.29

Great day. Spoiled by parking anarchy by idiots which blocked the whole road back to Braithwaite.The road with double yellow lines and no parking cones. Road closed for rally cars and everybody else. And also spolied by brainless mouthbreathers who can't take their f**ing litter home. Christ , and we wonder why motor sport gets a bad name . With fans like this , who needs nimbys ?

And the website specifically ask people not to park on the verges or roadside; use the FC car park, for a small charge. Yet every year people take no notice. Why? It boils my blood, £5 for parking to watch fantastic Motorsport is great value.

Rumour has it a certain Focus WRC owner has generated several complaints about his driving on the road sections and may have been stopped by Plod...

It's not just the spectators who need to behave.

I read the same thing on BRF, most competitors are very sensible on road sections but it doesn't take many to act the idiot to give us all a bad name with the public.

I didn't make it to the Rally myself. Eyelid issues on Saturday morning wink
