MAJOR NEW TARGA RALLY EVENT FOR NORTH WALES
North East Wales battle pencilled in for March next season
A major new Targa event will run in North Wales next March for both modern and historic cars.
Running for 36 hours on Friday and Saturday March 10-11, Rally Revival Cymru will be based in Mold and will take in a mix of special tests and regularity sections. It is said to be the first time that regularity sections will be used on a Welsh event with modern cars.
The event will start at 1400hrs on Friday for a series of special tests and regularity sections in the lanes of North East Wales. Crews will then return to Mold for the overnight halt where the organisers plan to close off the main street for the cars to go on show.
After more tests and regularity sections on Saturday, the finish will be back in Mold from around 1700hrs
Bryn Pierce, clerk of the course, said: “We’re hugely excited to bring this new concept to Wales as it harks back to some of the real classics from days gone by. We hope crews enjoy it as much as we hope they will and that it becomes a firm fixture on the calendar.
“We intend to make it an intense rally and a true big event for the clubman with cars that comply to Motorsport UK Historic Road Rally and Road Rally regulations.
“It is a combined historic and Targa rally but with a twist. While there will be the tests that crews have become used to on daylight Targa rallies, for the first time in Wales crews in both historic and modern cars will have regularity sections in between the tests.”
