Anyone have experience with this? Last year i got my dad a ticket to a local track which was an amateur rally day and we both really enjoyed it despite it being the day after boxing day and freezing.

I wouldn't mind splashing out on a proper rally day but what's the experience like? Do you get to see much or is it a full day of seeing cars go by in a split second and not many of them?
 
Yeah it just seems like you'll get small amounts of action throughout the day. Do they run amateur series before the world so it fills up the day?

Thinking a rallycross at silverstone might be a better idea.

Changes year on year, but generally stages get run twice. On a Saturday you usually get the nationals running through too which include a good mix of cars old and new. The current WRC spec cars are very spectacular with the speed they are carrying over the stage.

Some stages will have multiple viewpoints from one car park so gives you an opportunity to see the cars differently too. i.e;

1st Pass WRC and Nationals on a hairpin bend so you see a big braking zone and the drift. 2nd Pass walk to different viewpoint where you can see them at full speed.

On the Friday and Saturday you can also go to the service park which wraps up the day nicely as you get to see the cars being worked on which you saw through the stage.

You also have a chance to view a couple of stages if your organised about it, however with car-parking it can be difficult to transfer between stages and different people have different opinions of whether it is worth it.

Hope that helps! They are definitely worth seeing first hand, you will no doubt have the rose tinted brigade harping on how the past was always better etc, it may well have been but doesnt take anything away from what the current machines are like in the blood!
