    depends on the event really! The likes of the Pirelli International rally in Keilder is £5 per car per stage and you'd be looking at 3 stages in the day tops if you are prepared to be heading out at 6am

    The Jim Clark is different, there's plenty of free access depending where you stand but unofficial information is very limited cos obviously they want you to pay. We got spectator passes for that one and they were £20 each and means access to any stages and service park over the whole weekend. Was there for all 3 days so was well worth it, and gave some very good viewing spots but you need to get there early for the best places to stand

    Next big rally that I can think of that is reasonably local is the Roger Albert Clark memorial rally in November which runs in Keilder - it's a cracking event. Pretty much all historics/post historics.....plenty of mk1 and mk2 escorts, cortinas etc, loads of old school sideways action

    Need to wrap up for that one like :lol:

    i was at the castle combe group B thing.. the quattro :eek: and the RS200... shame it rained like hell, cos they obviously could'nt push them too hard for fear of wrecking an old legend!

    made the new generation look decidedly 'underpowered'...

    The white flying motor reminded me of the spot the ball that used to come with the pools coupons

    Ta :D

    To be honest you need to look at each site individually for the exact details for spectators although there are a number of sites that have rally calendars, although not all events are listed on all sites.

    http://www.scottishrally.co.uk/ for the scottish

    http://www.rogeralbertclarkrally.co.uk/ for the RAC in November
