Wales Rally GB, the final round of the World Rally Championship, will this year again play host to a complementary National event. The rally, which takes place on Friday 11 and Saturday 12 November, will utilise many of the stages of this year's re-vitalised WRC route. Covering 76 miles of competitive driving over some of the most famous forest stages in the UK , the event will be based in Builth Wells - the central service facility for both the National and International events - with the start, overnight halt and finish ceremony all contained within the Royal Welsh Showground. This year's National rally will feature two stages in Dyfi, of 6.38 and 3.66 miles, followed on Friday by 12.97 miles in Gartheiniog and a 13.22 mile test in Dyfnant. After the overnight halt at Builth Wells, competitors will make the trip to Hafren for a 19.97 miler, followed by a short 2.65 mile Sweet Lamb stage, before finishing with 17.32 miles in Myherin. Wales Rally GB National is open to both historic and contemporary cars and entries will be limited to 70, with the first 30 received being taken on a first come, first-served basis, and the remaining 40 places being selected by the organisers. Successful applicants for the event will be notified by Wednesday 19th October as to whether their entry has been successful. The entry fee for the event will be £675, including VAT and entries open Monday 1 August. |
