The Rally is based at Carlisle Racecourse where spectators can see the cars being serviced, cheer the competitors at the Start and welcome back the winners. The Service Area is in the car park across the road from the racecourse, where there will be spectator parking at £5 per car. Personal entry to the racecourse, grandstand and viewing areas is free. Catering outlets in the Bell Hall will be open for the sale of hot & cold food and refreshments throughout Friday & Saturday.

To see the cars in action you can head to the forests. There are 9 forest car parks with easy access to spectator viewing areas. These give an excellent and safe view of the cars. The charge for parking is £10 per car and proceeds go to local good causes in the areas that the rally travels through. Please follow the advice and guidance of the Marshals; they are there to help ensure your safety and that of the competitors.

The Pirelli International Rally Programme contains full spectator information about the rally, parking, viewing areas and lots of background information. It will be on sale week commencing 12th April at several locations in the rally area. These locations will be listed on the website when the Programme is available.
