canberra rally

[kanthan]

i am currently in canberra for work and i thought i might check out the rally in town....i have had a look at the official rally website, but for the life of me, i cannot seem to work out how the rally is run. can someone who has been before or follows the rally, please enlighten me. Is it one big race or smaller stages? how do i intrepret the map?

any help will be great.

It will have a few stages run a couple of times each. The map is quite good. It only shows the access routes for spectators, it doesn't actually show the roads the rally cars take.

Here's a list of the spectator points, when the 1st car is due, how to get to them, what you'll see, etc...

If you can, go to Spec Point F... Mineshaft.
And also go to the Super Special Stage at Fairbairn Park. Well worth it.

If you have any other questions, just ask.
I haven't been to RoC, but I might go this year. I've heard it's a great rally. Pity Atkinson wont be there. But you have all the APRC drivers, so it should be fun.
