Wales Rally GB - Help and Car sharing from Cardiff
Hello all,
I've been out of marshalling for a few months now due to university down here in Cardiff but thought i couldn't pass up on the oppurtunity of marshalling the Wales Rally GB. Unfortunatly, my experience only covers hillclimbing and circuits, so rallying is new to me. I've got the little red book from the RAC on marshalling which will be my new bible for the next few weeks but i'm interested in seeing what some of you experienced rally marshals can recommend i pay particular attention to. Also, if anyone is interested in car sharing from Cardiff to the Friday - SS 1 & 4 Port Talbot stage, Saturday - SS 8 & 11 Epynt stage and SS 15 & 17 Trawscoed stage, then please get in contact with me. I only have a punto so i can reasonably fit 3 equipped marshals. If your interested, then give me a ring on the number below!! thanks for reading guys, Tim - 07765302717 |

Why have you been out of action, when Pembrey and Combe are so close?
Not sure about Rally stages, but I'll be on the service park doing parc ferme (as far as I know anyway) |

at a risk of going too far off topic...
Which uni are you in? I'm in University of Glamorgan about 10 miles north of Cardiff... if you get the chance, be sure to go down and see the start ceremony on the Thursday evening. |

Watch out for Petter and his incredible out of the car antics! Just one point though, I still haven't had any confirmation notification about the rally. Last I spoke to Ernie he said he'd sent them off. Last edited by The STIG; 8 Nov 2006 at 00:47. |

The one and only mate - unless there's an imposter running around pretending to be me (pretending to be The STIG).
Lets see now, that whittles it down a bit... ... *goes away and thinks* |

Haven't made my mind up yet, Rally on at Rockingham, and there's this London motorsport show...
I used to be indecisive, but I'm not so sure about that. |
