Firstly, I was looking round the official Rally of Australia website yesterday, and noticed that a Mr Yoda is driving a Subaru. All I can say is thank goodness he's not co-driving, as he'd scarcely be coherent in the pacenotes department :)
Secondly, I was disucssing the RAC Rally with a colleague at break. Her husband is a rally co-driver, and she mentioned that their rally club would be marshalling the start and finish of the RCA rally. Now, given that the rally starts on the Thursday, any marshal would have to take time off work, and find accommodation until Sunday. What really shocked me though is the fact that if the marshals want to watch any of the (ticket-only) action during their free time over the weekend, they have to pay to get in. Does this strike anyone else as being grossly unfair to people who take a lot of their time and money to help out? :rolleyes:
