ALL INFORMATION PROVISIONAL The Rally GB 2005 looks similar to 2004 with a few minor tweaks. Compacted within South Wales overall stage mileage is reduced to comply with the FIA 360km (224 mile) maximum. Sunday will see extended mileage, all within the mileage criteria to allow a more competitive days rallying. Stages are also similar and are listed below. Please check with the event organisers and the official rally website before making your travel arrangements. Four alterations will hopefully help the spectator. Firstly, although yet to be sanctioned officially you may see some cars fuelling at a local station or fuel supply point designated for the purpose. This will cut costs for teams who previously had to use FIA supplies. Secondly, taped spectator 'pens' should be extended to allow greater flexibility for viewing on stage. Thirdly, you may see up to 120 cars on the rally. Scrapping of the 90 car rule should see more privateers, although the costs are staggering. Fourthly, the Cardiff Super Special moves indoors. A stage has been tested within the Millennium Stadium for use only on Saturday evening. The extended Sunday mileage, more cars and repaired vehicles re-joining the next leg could provide the busiest Sunday viewing for years. Have fun and check times and stages officially before travelling. WHERE TO GO and HOW TO GET THERE The general timetable is shown below. We have also prepared location pages for each leg explaining each stages location. You can visit those pages by pressing the coloured text left or pressing any of the stage names in the table.
