I am considering going to this rally however i have a few questions.

When are the first parades in the arena?

How big is the site?

How far away is the main arena from the car park?

What are the admission prices?

How is traffic near the site and is it easy to get off the site?

How busy is the M5 over the rally weekend?

Sorry that i have to fill up the page with all these question but the rally website is very bad in providing these details for us spectators.

James, without going through your list. You will not have a problem with any of the above. If you have never been to Welland before, come this weekend and you will have wished that you had come years ago. You will thoroughly enjoy it. There is something for everyone and one of the best rallys in the country, you will not be disappointed.

Does anyone know if Classic and Vintage Dynamos have a stand at Welland - trying to get hold of them urgently but only have a landline number which is not being answered?
