Anyone interested in marshalling that hasn't signed up yet? I need people for a remote service park on the Friday. All volunteers get entered into a draw to win a trip to Barbados and the team at Rally Travel are offering 2 of our registered volunteers the chance to experience all the thrills of WRC Rally Catalunya, with all the frills included.

Full list of marshal rewards:
As a small token of our appreciation the Circuit of Ireland will offer the following to every volunteer who freely gives up their time to support the rally over the weekend.
  • Breakfast near the stage start Click HERE for details.
  • Circuit of Ireland 2016 Official Supporter programme.
  • Circuit of Ireland 2016 Limited edition 85th Year Rally Plate.
  • Circuit of Ireland 2016 Limited edition Car sticker.
  • Circuit of Ireland 2016 Limited edition Pin Badge.
  • Free entry into a draw to win a trip of a lifetime to Sol Rally Barbados. Click HERE for details.
  • Free entry into a draw to win a fully escorted trip to Rally Catalunya in Spain. Click HERE for details.
You will be entered into both draws once for every day you volunteer.
Volunteer on 3 days, you’ll be entered 3 times !

Does the programme show the precise route for each day?

I'm tempted to take in some of the Tardree runs on the Thursday and would like to know where'd be the best place to head to.

It will have the full stage routes.

Ill be doing my recce before the Thursday though, Ill probably take a spin over the stages this weekend. Its an ERC event, so even though the official recce period will be over, I would assume that the stages will have loads of fans recceing and gravel crews on them the night before and it will be a disaster.

It's not the "full" Tardree stage, only around 4km. Route is in the programme but it's easy enough to map from the road closures @ChrisR posted.

It hasn't been in Fermanagh/Tyrone for years. Are you thinking of the Ulster?

Yeah he must be thinking of the Ulster as it is heading up Strabane direction this year.

Good luck with the remote service. I'm running the Bulls Brook Stage on the Sat myself so will be setting that up on the Friday and then in Ards for the Friday night. Hopefully the weather will sort itself out.

Cheers. I shall be in Antrim thurs, ballymena fri and banbridge sat. So short of people I'm having to run stuff myself rather than float round them all as I would have liked. Have a good one.

heading to get signed on tomorrow at some point so may get a dander around service

had a chat with Fisher / Noble tonight there and the stages are looking great however they feel they will be very slippy due to the vast amounts of rain moving mud away and leaving thin layers of slippery stuff
