When we went in 2004, we managed about 4 stages a day, staying only for the WRC cars for the first 3 and then staying for the whole field for the 4th. We did it on the cheap as well, staying in caravan parks, although when in Raglan the caravan park was right next to the service park We actually spent a lot of time planning out our stage viewing before the event, my friend Sophia did a great job of this. We ended up with a heap of other spectators tagging along with us. Made it a great trip. So good that I went back the next year competing Ray
