NEW FORMAT AND BASE FOR RALLY NORTH WALES
There will be a new look to Rally North Wales when the popular event returns to the calendar on Saturday, March 25.
The event, which has run out of Dolgellau for several years, will move to a new base in Welshpool in the Welsh borders, which makes it an easier destination for many of the competing crews.
The move will also allow the event to change some of the stages that it uses following criticism of the condition of some of those used this year. There are already rumours of a significant new forest stage coming back into use after a lengthy absence.
The move to Welshpool coincides with attracting Get Jerky as title sponsor for the event as the company is based in Welshpool. The rally, run by Wolverhampton and South Staffs Car Club, will be the second round of the British Historic Rally Championship and the opening round of the Welsh Rally Championship. It is traditionally the first major gravel rally of the year in Wales.
