Just got back from the Ceremonial Finish.

It was an hour late starting and an Official informed us when we arrived that the cars were arriving the opposite way that they eventually did. $angry1$

The Hyundai building was truly amazing and many of the building contractors in the area could learn a lot from it!  Ralio on S4C the other night showed the upper level - plenty of tables and seating and full catering facilities - looked better than many local eateries!

DVT, I noticed many of the rally teams had brought along their own canteen and overnight accommodation.

There were also hot and cold mobile food units catering for the general public on both Mostyn Broadway Coach Park and Venue Cymru Car Park.

All of this must limit the business potential for our local hotels, guest houses, restaurants and cafes.

Wales Rally GB fans to get refund over Great Orme stage cancellation
The spectacular Great Orme stage had to be cancelled on Sunday because of rough sea conditions.
https://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/wales-rally-gb-fans-refund-17044366

All those who bought their tickets on the day for the Great Orme can apply for a refund if they follow the Cancellation Policy as detailed on the Wales Rally GB website – here’s a link:  https://www.walesrallygb.com/spectators/ticket-information/refunds/ .

A Wales Rally GB spokesman said: "We are also offering a refund to those who purchased a full Sunday Pass (for all five stages on the day) but didn’t attend any of the other four stages held on Sunday. In other words, those who only went to the Orme."

How true.

Wales Rally GB will stay despite Northern Ireland talks.

"But following months of uncertainty, Motorsport UK chief Hugh Chambers said the Wales Rally GB would go ahead.
Mr Chambers said the success of the "fantastic" 2019 race had been a springboard to enable them to confirm its return."

"It is estimated more than 100,000 people attended over four days, said to be worth more than £10m to the economy."

Thats great news Steve.  It didn't feel as good this year as last but that's from the POV of living in Llandudno. The Orme stage route was dull after last years. I wonder what next year may bring. I stumbled across this fantastic in car video of Elfyn Evans on a lap around the Orme finishing in town, brilliant!

Great video, those cliff walls looked very scary, I was surprised by a couple of safety issues ....some of the spectator positions looked a bit ill judged, and the stopped car on the course ?
