CAMBRIAN RALLY GETS COMPACT 2020 ROUTE
Entries now open for British Rally Championship and BTRDA Rally Series encounter
Entries for the Cambrian Rally – the opening round of the 2020 British Rally Championship and BTRDA Rally Series – have now opened, with next year’s event set to feature the most compact route yet.
The rally will take place on February 8 and will incorporate Wales Rally GB stages, with approximately 45 stage miles and road mileage significantly reduced from last year to around 100 miles.
Competitors who entered in 2019 will also receive a £30 refund following lastminute changes to the route and a reduction in stage miles on this year’s event.
Clerk of the course Alyn Edwards said: “Our aim is to provide an event which competitors and spectators alike find enjoyable, and provides a fitting start to both the British Rally Championship and the BTRDA seasons, and we feel the format for the 2020 event will provide that.
“We are fortunate to have been able to incorporate some great stages, and the event will be the most compact ever, being centred on the Conwy Valley around the Betws y Coed area with limited road mileage to and from the start-finish and service area in Llandudno town centre, where, after last year’s trial of the facilities, lessons have been learned.
“Rally4wales have done a great job regrading the stages since Wales Rally GB and we feel we are able to offer competitors an opportunity to show their skills to the maximum while giving great value for money.”
Six gravel stages will be used including
Crafnant, Gwydir where it will follow a previously unused route, a 14-mile test at Penmachno, Elsi and Great Orme.
BTRDA competitors will compete over seven stages, while those battling for BRC honours will battle over nine stages. Reverse seeding will also be used on the event with 1400cc cars at the head of the field.
