    This is a great rally.......just wish it was more available for spectators. Tried it last couple of times and was only able to watch a single stage each day. The stages are far enough away and they closed them before I could get to the spectator areas.......

    The video (Recce 101) is pretty interesting, esp. for those interested in knowing more about how rally teams recce stages and create and use pace notes. I also learned yet another reason to never buy a used rental car...as if I needed another reason... :biggrin5:

    There's a schedule for live streaming here, with a link to access the stream. Don't know whether it's any good, haven't seen any of it yet.
