Hi all

I have a event pass and i was wondering what stages to watch

Friday
SS2 BRECHFA at 7.13 (will be sleeping in the car overnight)
SS4 BRECHFA at 10.04 (would i have enough time to watch a few cars go through or sould i go after SS2 and start heading to SS6 RHEOLA to get to the carpark in time)
I recall from the early ninties it used to get quite busy and i bet its worse now on the little welsh B roads

Same thing on saturday
SS10 HALFWAY at 10.05 (will sleep overnight in the car again do i stay and watch SS13 or sould i get to MARGAM PARK ASAP after SS10

Also I only have a car park pass for halfway and margam park on saturday
halfway looks close to crychan and epynt could i gain acces to SS8 or SS9

Thx in advance

See U there

When parking up, try and leave enough space to get out - i.e. try not to get too close to the cars parked next to you. Also when parking up, ask the marshalls if you'll be coming out the same way you came in, most stages are like this so it pays to turn your car around before parking up for the night rather than trying to do it when hundreds are trying to leave the stage.

One stage last year the car park was a big loop so we didn't need to turn round to get out.

The last two years we had enough time to watch the top 5 or 6 drivers through the second run, before leaving for our next stage (and that was in a Land Rover).

As long as there's no muppet parking and no-one blocks you in then you should be ok.

Um, we walked out of the arena a bit when we were there the year before last. You'll probably get a better view in the arena though, we just ended up on "a corner" which was ok.

Nah, i'm wussing out this year. Going to the SWRT VIP day on Friday, then marshalling at Epynt on saturday (was supposed to be working but managed to worm out of it!). :D

Have a good one.
