Anyone been to the WRC Catalunya rally in Spain?
The wife's offered to take me over to see Loeb and Hirvonen continue to battle it out in October as her 30th birthday present to me. Fairly big deal seeing she has no interest in cars and doesn't understand my obsession! 
I'd love to see the rally, and I was wondering if anyone's been to this one before, and if so whether they'd recommend any particular place to stay, a company to use for getting the necessary passes / etc, and any other useful hints or tips they could share.
There are a few companies about on the 'net but prices seem to vary wildly, so if anybody can let me know their experiences and / or offer advice for a novice rally attendee I'd be most grateful!

No idea, but it will be quality 
Went to see the rally in Wales a few years back and it was really good - get to the paddock early for a chat with all the drivers etc.

I went, erm, about 6 years ago. Fantastic trip - we had 7 Scoobs on the Plymouth - Santander ferry and a similar number drive down through France.
Didn't the rally move location? Does it take in "The Bridge" anymore?

Never been to the Spanish rally, but decided to treat myself to the Gold package with Rally Travel after being soaked to the skin and not being able to see anything because of the mist on Rally GB last year..!!
Seriously looking forward to it..!!
