I'm glad you posted this, or I'd have been sat in Penllygaer a long time waiting for a car to arrive.

I'll probably be at shakedown if I can get in there for free, also going to the stadium this year for a few beers!

Sadly this year it's a non commercial event, so no freebies this year!

There are ways into the local stages if you don't want to pay and like a good walk
The Mid Wales stages may be a little trickier to get into without a recce but it can be done.

Does anyone have a stage map for the shakedown @ Margam at all?

I'll be getting a full pass again this year. It's far easier, done the sleeping in mid wales to get in free and it's not really worth it.

Margam shackdown? That's a shock. And service is in cardiff this year?

It's heading to England next year too if I'm correct?

I think that Citroen will give Petter plenty of support in order to finish ahead of the Fords at RallyGB. More points for Seb and less for Mikko.

BTW, I've got a map for shakedown now

So its down to the final round again,1 point seperating them, its going to be brutal, just remember what happen'd last time there was a title shootout in Wales.

Its gonna be fun, though I've just worked out that the tickets on sale works out to be abit of a scam.

You can buy a day pass for Sat for £30 for all stages or Sunday for £20 for stages, but with this you only get 1 car park sticker, if you want anymore it'll cost £10 for each car park.

So most people will do 2 or 3 car parks in a day, so work that out, ticket £30 + 2 extra car parks = £20, thats £50 for one day.

You do better off buying a 4 day pass for £90 and get everything or just find away in and dont pay at all
