Brean Stages 2010

[ryland.j]

can anyone tell me if this rally is worth the two hour drive from swansea,iv'e seen some of the entry list and it looks tempting :)

[wotaguy]

ive never been, but have been told, viewing can be restricted , i think there are so many areas that you can watch from.

Have a search on Youtube for some videos. It ain't great, viewing is limited to a long corner and a tight chicane. As it's a holiday park you pretty much can't get anywhere near the cars. TBH if it was much more than an hour away I probably wouldn't bother.

Just had a look at the site and I won't be going. £20 per car is taking the piss. It'll only be me and the old man so that's £10 plus fuel and I don't think the rally is worth that. As my Dad just said a rally at Smeatharpe might be worth that but Brean just lacks any real excitement (it's more a chance to see the cars after a long time between rallies). Also I seem to remember that last year it was an effort to sneak into the service to have a poke around (TBH that's the reason I like to go as the SV gives a good chance to have a nose around.

Agreed £20 is a piss take, especially if like me you dont have many friends into rallying.

even with the good entry I personally wouldnt bother driving 2 hours to see it, im quite happy to wait till the 20th of feb to see some rallying up smeatharpe :)

Heres my video of it..

I'm not going and it's 15 minutes away!

[ryland.j]

not up to much then,save me a waste of journey,thanks ;)

[MrJan]

Does anyone want to group up and go to this in one car? I'm not particularly bothered about this but with me, my old man and some others it starts to seem more reasonable.

For anyone who can head up from Exeter way (possibly only Ally) then my old man would be driving and paying for the fuel :D

[Allyc85]

Which day are ye going as im going to be waaaay too hung over sunday lol.

[MrJan]

Would have been the Sunday as me old man want to do the old DIY thing on Saturday.

[Allyc85]

Ah right fair enough. I cant afford to go now anyway, got a puncture due to some muppet in a micra and 205/50 16 tyres a stupidly expensive for the size :(

I have never been to the event, but I buy the dvds from http://www.4sportvideo.co.uk of the rally as its a long way to travel to spectate from Teesside.
If you click on the 4sport site you can see their quick review while the dvd is being produced

If anyone did go I would appreciate some pics of Karl Broads Metro 6R4 for my 6R4 website
Thanks
