So flying to bangalore on 7th will be fine for you.

For accommodation, just google about the rates, you will find some information.

But many people from T- BHP are participating right ? Can't I come along with one of them or are the rules very strict ?

From what I know 4 people can go in the recce car. Generally the driver and his Navi go the recce. If somebody is willing to take you along it should not be an issue, atleast from the rules viewpoint...

Thanks Bull ahmmFrog

Maybe I should ask a Gypsy rally car owner to drop me to the recce :.)

Guys if I straight away arrive at the service park Ram Farms Sidhalghatta to see the Recce would I be told to go away ?

Recce or not I have booked a ticket for tommorow.Bangalore here I come.

Oh and I should be sleeping now, my flight leaves at 0730

Have been in Bangy for a few days now. Lucklly have been witness to the rally action on all three days( including the Recce

). Must say rallying sure is fun !

More details later. Although I am surpurised that I haven't seen any Bhpians yet.

All said and done about the K-1000 rally. I really dont know much about it. I heard there is some kind of dirt track rally going on in Sakleshpur this Independence day weekend. Any idea whats that about. Because of which all places in Sakleshpur is booked and i had to cancel my weekend vacation with a few friends.
