Wales rally review......Not happy

<< < (5/5)

v8rangie:
Very true the good old days where it was a week long event covering most of the uk.

I managed to catch the eurosport rerview last night wasn't great but suppose at least it was on tv.

Chris Putt:
I miss the old event.  A lot. Being able to walk into the stages for a small fee for parking, or if you didnt mind a longer walk in free.

The rally this year whilst being good is getting too expensive. We managed to walk into Halfway without any problems (about a 3 mile walk) but paying £22 a stage is too much.

We paid to go to the millenium stadium which was good, and also ended up paying to get into trawscoed, due to a lack of prior planning.

The level of 'security' was ridiculous TBH and it was a blatant money making exercise rather than a motorsport event which is really dissapointing.

Either going to marshall next year, drive into the stage carparks the night before and sleep in the stage or just not bother next year. Stick to the clubman events.

Just a quick note on the millenium stadium too. Nice venue, good display before hand (75 years of rallying cars plus russ swifts son doing some stunt driving- very contrived but quite amusing plus a tribute to colin mcrae and richard burns. Which for me was quite special) but who the hell was that IDIOT commentating......He just talked over everything! I went for cars and car noises, not for some idiot talking over them! I genuinely wanted to jump out of the stands and gag the bloke to shut him up!
