Thanks Matthew,

If anyone has any questions about anything or if something is not clear, feel free to post.

Also, I'd like to announce that the 2nd round is already in the works for the week of Feb 20. James Knowles will be our rallymaster for that one. After that, we'll look for two weeks in March.

Steven-it would be great to know the length of the rally so I can budget my time appropriately-can you share that information when it is available?

Never mind-I found it-60 minutes...

[andyone]

nice to see. can we at least know the surface which we will be tackling and length as well. and the times do they have to only be the ones mentioned?

You'll learn the surface once you start doing the stages. It shouldn't take more than a hour to do the event, this includes the stages and the breaks between them.

The session times are set so that who participates in this rally event can do the stages more or less at the same time as everyone else. If the times don't suit you then send PM to rallymaster (Steven is rallymaster this time) when would you like to do the event and he will make a session for you.

I'll probably post some very general information about what surface(s) to expect when we get a little closer. I haven't even started to work on the roadbook yet. I'll probably give a general weather forecast too - but we all know how accurate forecasts are!

Also, if you want you can post what you plan to drive for the rally. I'm leaning toward the Skoda Fabia S1600, but I need to test it out a bit.

[Nknow]

I will be driving the Suzuki Ignis S1600.

Supplementals updated with surface, weather and special notes - please read!

[smokee]

I will run the Ford Fiesta S1600. I might have to run a custom session depending on how much wife aggro I get when I bring it up Would like to run the PST session if possible tho.
