The team at Midland Manor Motor Club have worked to refresh the event for 2014 and will build on the success of last season’s 40th anniversary. The rally has been re-branded and new members have joined the hugely experienced core team of rally organisers.
The route will take in special stages in Cefn, Crychan and Halfway forests, offering crews the chance to compete over some of the finest gravel roads in British rallying. With 44 stage miles and 93 road miles, the compact event will start at 8.30am and have the first car back at the finish before 3pm.
The Royal Welsh Showground at Builth Wells will once more provide an unrivalled venue for rally HQ, scrutineering, attended overnight parking, camping facilities, start, finish, service and refuel area as well as the setting for the end-of-rally awards’ ceremony. Scrutineering and documentation will be held primarily on Friday afternoon but, by prior arrangement, there will be the chance to complete scrutineering and signing-on during Saturday morning, so avoiding overnight accommodation costs.
The refresh for 2014 includes the inclusion of the event as round four of the West Wales Rally Spares R.A.C. Rally Championship, while the organisers are delighted to retain the Brian Dennis Motorsport Welsh Historic Rally Championship and the Pirelli MSA Welsh Stage Rally Championship.
“Our new branding and fresh approach, together with a high-profile new championship, are aimed at revitalising this firm favourite in the rally calendar,” said Secretary of the Meeting Steven Tibbetts. “Over the years we have endeavoured to offer some of the best rally stages that Wales has to offer. We aim to provide a value for money rally whilst maintaining the quality of organisation that crews have come to expect from this event. At a cost of £10.80 a stage mile and with payment by instalments, we believe we have achieved just that.”
