Does WRC stuff go here? It's finally happening relatively close by so I wanted to check out the Central European rally, but I saw that they sell tickets and there are none actually available for any of the days: https://www.ticketmaster.com/central-european-rally-tickets/artist/3025140

I've been to some other lower-profile rallies and I could just show up and watch cars go vroom :shrug: am I completely hosed now or is it ok to just drive out somewhere near the stages and hike up to an observation spot?


E: I guess they have event tickets here: https://www.centraleuropeanrally.eu/tickets

not clear what this means though? So there's no access to Prague/Klatovy events at all? Or does it exclude service park in Prague/Klatovy?

Looks like you can still roll up and get tickets

However to address your other question - even at WRC level if you can get into the stages by a hike they aint gonna stop you unless you are trespassing on someone's private property - which "mostly" isnt the organiser's problem but be aware a pissed off property owner can make a lot of trouble for the organiser so when in doubt dont or ask first. There is always a lot of private viewing going on and locals that know the roads and ways to access.

Another way is that you can volunteer for a road closure. Volunteers get access to any other paying spot (usually) and as well when you are on duty you have a spot for yourself - which will usually have people show up because of the above. Last time I was at a Euro WRC event I hiked a few kms and found a crossroads and then settled in for the day.

Dont be an idiot about it and it'll be a good day. The new cars are insane up close.

Noob rally question: How far apart are cars released? In the case of an off like that, is there a chance there's a car coming through in another minute or is the following car paused until it's clear?

It depends

On Tarmac it is usually 1 minute. On gravel it is up to 3 minutes depending on conditions - dust usually is the main factor in that decision. Normally 2 minutes is about the average.
