62 entries-hardly an inspiring situation, even the Irish Times says it should not be called the Circuit anymore and before anyone sends a post to me saying stop being so negative and all that-I don't bloody care.

 

[angleboxman]

Lets be realistic - the last time the event went even as far as dublin there was an extremely low entry. The rally program explains why they have the same format as donegal, killarney, galway, ulster etc. Very few could afford the circuit in its original form.

 

[rossgamble1987]

Yeah imagin the entry fee for a 5 day tarmac rally lol 0000s id imagin, PLus tyres and fuel would be serious doh!!!!
:headache:

they'll need all the luck going after the shambles that was last year.i hope for the sake of the event not the crowd running it that its a sucess

 

[Michaeld]

Hope so too, just a pity that it wasnt a bit longer, still i suppose thats the way all rallys have gone these days

I'm booked into da vincis in derry for the weekend - really looking forward to the event.

Then i drove stages 2,3 and 4, hoping to pick up some good spots to spectate. I think the stages are crap for spectators - high ditches, limited access. They are crud. The jump in stage 2 can hardly be seen from the field.

I'll watch a couple on Saturday, and go out on the town on Saturday night. Can't even be bothered about the sunday stages now, and the event hasn't even started.

Roll on Killarney-a proper rally.

 

[ste0411]

[Jimmy Page]

Oh..........BALLS, BALLS, BALLS, BALLS!!!!!!!!!!! What the fuck? The world is courgetted!!!!!!!!!

 

[ste0411]

Mate what planet are u living on I got to 5 stages today they all had good viewing points and they where all easy to find. I also went to the jump on stage two and saw everything.
But I do think they could have ran another two stages.

 

[Steve]

it was an improvement from last year (apart from parking near the start on friday night)! we got to 3 stages, all good stages and good viewing! but as you say chris they maybe could have ran another 2 stages! ics:

what was the jump on stage 2 like? was that the one at the crossroads? ics:

 

[can1]

Aye steve the jump at the crossroads was ok, they where flatout up hill, i would say Sean Devine took it the best.

Thought the rally was great taday!! Saw 4 stages and all were easy to get too!! They could deffo have run another couple of stages. We were all back in the service area with the action over for the day by 3.30pm
