I'm thinking of going to Resolven Saturday, though I only know 2 places which have a good spectator point with both on a hairpin bend.
Weather is looking good, though I was hoping for abit of snow.

The organisers of Wales Rally GB have announced changes to Friday’s rally route.
A statement issued at 1930hrs on Thursday read:
“Despite the adverse weather conditions, all eight of Friday, 5th December’s stages are scheduled to be run. However, for the safety of spectators, marshals and competitors, the competitive route for stages one to six has been shortened.
SS1 (Hafren) is shortened to 3.67 kilometres, SS2 (Sweet Lamb) to 4.28 kilometres, SS3 (Myherin) to 18.28 kilometres. Stages 4, 5 and 6 are an exact repeat of stages 1, 2 and 3.
Stages 7 and 8, Walters Arena 1 and 2, will run as planned but at the later times of 1729hrs and 1740hrs.
The revised time for the first car due in to the Swansea service park is 1822hrs.
Rally cars will pass all designated spectator areas at competitive speeds. Spectator car parks will be open as usual - and at published times.
Stages on Saturday, 6th December and Sunday, 7th December, remain unaffected.”
Any further news or bulletins will be issued via the WRGB website,

Weather is set to be pretty good too, if not a little cold, a little fire should help warm the cockles though between runs
