Helimutt,
Have a look at where it is and look at a 1:500,000 map, you'd be surprised.
It's not just about following a rally car around the stages it is all the other stuff that goes on in the background during the rally and on the build-up and strip down.
It is beyond me why people can't see the wisdom of using an IR pilot in Wales in November at a high profile event for the teams and sponsors.
If you had the choice would you send out a brand new SPIFR machine out on it's first outing at a high profile event with a non-instrument rated pilot?
"Sorry Boss can't bring the bloke who gives us millions a year to run the team in from London as there's a bit of cloud in the way...........I'll get my coat!"
I would like to hear your justifications for not using an IR pilot rather than just dismissing it? It will give me an idea of your experience and mentality.
