Don't have the camper van parked near the stages, the 2 police forces will be moving anything that could be catagorised as interfering with stage. This will be happening during the night before.

Luke - make sure the camper is 1/2 a kilometer from any junction; rally safety restrictions for international and national is that there must me a 200m empty road on a junction running straight on from stage, and 50m for anything going off at 90 degrees.  I'm sure that for WRC the regulation clearways will be increased.

The last thing you want is to find someone waking you up at 3am telling you to move, and all the decent spots are gone!

Ger - you heading up that way for the weekend?

Probably not. I was tempted as I have a cousin living outside Sligo.

Finance tight, might be buying a wings and slicks 2 Litre single seater at Tynagh next Sunday.
