The 2007 Printmatters Promenade Stages Rally offers excellent spectator access & parking and a superb view of all of the stages. To get there simply follow the rally arrows from Junction 1 of the M53 Motorway and enter the spectator car parks via Sandcliffe Road. Access from Liverpool is via the Wallasey Tunnel and follow the signs for New Brighton Promenade. For a map & further directions click on the 'Venue Info' button from the web menu on the left.
Spectator charges are a very reasonable £5.00 per car or £3.00 per person on foot, which includes a full 20 page glossy colour programme. Parking is adjacent to the stage with easy viewing of all stages and a running commentary at the most popular spectator areas. Added to the action out on track there is the chance to also tour the service area in between stage turnarounds.

STUPID IDIOTS....this event has been ruined for me.....ive been every single year for the past 7 years..except last year..cos they changed the dates...Last year the dates were changed due to weather problems and high tides...this year they just decided to keep those dates..basically..this pointless decision has lost them a regular customer..and not because i dont like the dates themselves...but because im back at university....pathetic...I do a motorsport course (as you know) and ive hardly seen any racin all year...plus this was one of my highlights of the year..really really not happy
Posted By: BMW Joe Re: New Brighton Rally - 21st Aug 2007 10:39pm
what uni you go to? can you not stay up here that weekend?
Posted By: MGCraig Re: New Brighton Rally - 21st Aug 2007 10:44pm
well im up at preston....i forgot to mention...i go back to uni on the 10th...but the weekend before Were Racing at Anglesey frown
Posted By: Waddi Re: New Brighton Rally - 21st Aug 2007 10:58pm
Didnt they change the dates so it didnt conflict with the golf OPEN in hoylake.

I'll see what I can do for ya for next year, A work collegue is part of the Wallasey Motoring Club that organises it, he's actually going to be doing the commentary at the rally.
Posted By: BMW Joe Re: New Brighton Rally - 21st Aug 2007 10:59pm
is he the annoying dude who was on the bus last year?
Posted By: MGCraig Re: New Brighton Rally - 21st Aug 2007 11:05pm
yea waddi...it was originally swapped cos of the open...then swapped again due to high tides and things....i mean come on....regardless of the fact that that was a world event...were talkin bout motorsport vs golf.......if ya cud have a word it would be great....cos it really is the best thing the wirral has each year
Posted By: MGCraig Re: New Brighton Rally - 21st Aug 2007 11:25pm

I was all over the place mate, started at the hairpin by the lifeguard lookout tower, then moved to the roundabout near the toilets, then to large grassed area where everone was parked, then up on top of "cliffs", then into the pits, then back to the initial hairpin (my favourite spot).
