300 Lakes Rally, Lithuania

[Tinke1979]

Hello!
I have an idea to go spectate 300 Lakes Rally this summer. Any hints and tips for this rally? How many cars there will be? Any star-drivers? Where to get cheap hotelrooms, etc.

Is there any crash/action-places on the route this year?

Feel free to give me good hints for this event!

I can only recommend this rally! Have been there few times, unfortunately not this year as have my own rally on same weekend. This year the road may be little bit modified. Entry list should be OK, as it will be round of Lithuanian, Latvian and Belarusian champs.
Surely "big jump" is worth watching (300 e (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSITipE2qiA)). Superstage on the island is also quite spectacular. Also some other famous places, but I don't know exact route for this year, so hard to say something 100%.
It's best gravel rally in Lithuania, only there are not many sleeping places, so you should book those quite early.

We allready booked hotelrooms from Visaginas, so not so far from Zarasai :)

Nice to hear that this event is the best gravel rally in Lithuania.. I am allready anxious to get there!

Any of you locals have tips for us for spectator places? Usually we go to see crashplaces because there is also nice drivinglines and in those kind of places you can see the difference between good and bad driver.. Hints are always welcome :) PM me if you allready have good places in mind for 300 Lakes Rally.

Nice amount of cars on entry list by the way.. Our first time in Lithuania as an spectator so this trip should be nice :)
