The Newton Abbot Audi Stages 18 - 19th Jan.

As Duracell cann't make it this weekend I thought I'd do the post.

Anyone fancy going to see a Rally this weekend, it's on our doorstep so would be rude not to

It's round 1 of the same series that the Sunseeker is in later in Feb, so I would expect a good turn out of cars.

The Rally's start / finish and service is based around Finlake Park just bewteen Newton Abbot and Exeter.

There are 2 spectator stages ;
Saturday - At Belliver Forest, near Postbridge on Dartmoor. Course will be ready at 13.50 with the first car expected at 14.40.

Sunday - At Kiddens forest, which I guess is near Holden Hill. Course will be ready at 10.49 and first car due at 11.39.

Anyone fancy going along in convoy,

Cheers, Grahame.

I would be up 4 that, either day really, or both! Up to you Graham! If I have a heavy Sat night I might not be up early on Sun Though!

Hey Tris, Great.
Dale popped around today and he's up for it as well.
Probably just do Saturday or I'll be in trouble with err indoors

I think if we go to the start at 10AM at Finlake will could find out where all the stages are being run and probably see a few more than one stage.

yes, thats fine with me. Are we meeting in the usual place?

scoobdoo

okay, no problems, just say a time at sainsburys I presume, and judging by the weather reports, some waterproofs!

smanning

i would love to come to that, but dunno if i can be bothered to drive down as im not in barnstaple this weekend.

Looks like it's the usual suspects again then nevermind

Yep how about meeting at 9AM at Sainsburys (back of car park), and then we'll head upto Finlake (Service) to see what is going on for the day.
By the sounds of it we'll be able to see a few more stages than just the public only ones, which may involve a bit of trecking through the woods
I think waterproofs and hiking boots if you have them are a very good idea, and a bite to eat.
I'll give you guys a bell tonight.
Cheers, Grahame.
