I'm going to try and get up to the Great Orme stage as I think it's going to be a cracker.

I drove round it on the Colin McRae weekender and it will be the highlight of the rally I believe.

All days including shakedown as I have for the last 15+ years although I might miss out the finish in Cardiff as Petter now has no chance following his disqualification in France. Cannot beat sleeping in the car and waking to find ice on the inside of the windscreen.

I don't suppose any one has seen any stage maps yet, so that I can fine tune my schedule and parking. If so can you forward to me at bullitt.brown@tiscali.co.uk

How many stages do you do in a day? The wr pass was never good value for me as I pay at the gate and stay in a stage for both runs.

Black-Hawk,
Personally I think that Day Pass is better option, cost you £30 and you can do 2-3 stages plus Service Park instead of paying £20 for each stage plus £10 for Service Park.

The pass gets you in to Shakedown any stage so if I change my mind service with no hassle.

At £99 and four days of rally it seems ok value to me.

only ever do 1 stage that runs twice and only do service on show/shakedown day so not good vfm for me.

Don't follow Dylan (you won't keep up) or cannon fodder (you'll arive late).

And definitely don't follow Jarvis (Black-Hawk) as you will get lost on stage, probably end up ripping off various body parts as you realise you shouldn't have taken that turning.
