Janner Rally
Hi all - I'm thinking of going to the Janner Rally in January 2015 - does anyone have any tips? Being Australian I've never driven in ice or snow and I drive on the other side of the road, so it would be handy if they had shuttle buses or whatnot. If anyone knows what spectator services they have, tours or any general hints or tips, it would be great.
I've heard it is a great rally to go and see! Thanks |

The most important thing is that you really have to pay attention to the road and not drive too fast (some times the limit is way too fast). Since you'll be driving on unfamiliar roads, don't hesitate to lower your speed before a corner. Other important thing is tyres. I don't know if studded tyres are allowed in Austria (they aren't in Germany, so might be the same in Austria), but if they are, get a car that has them. Third important thing might sound funny: know where to drive. This doesn't mean there are regions or roads you should avoid, but where to position your car on the road. And the answer is: on a layer of snow, if there is one (I don't know how well salted the roads in Austria are). Driving on snow is fairly similar to driving on gravel and million times better than driving on ice. What to look out for
A good idea is to have sime sort of emergency pack with you in the car, in case you get stranded. At minimum it should have something to keep you warm, like blankets or extra clothing. A shovel is a good addition. Also it is extremely important to keep your phones charged. |
