Wales Rally GB, being held this year from 29 November – 2 December, has launched its online rally planner. This exciting new initiative will transform the spectator experience, making itinerary planning much easier.

This week organisers published enhanced mapping details online for rally fans to access in advance of the start of the event on 29 November. Traditionally this information has only been available in the printed rally planner, which spectators have to wait to receive with their tickets.

The interactive online planning information will, for the first time, also include comprehensive stage descriptions and detailed viewing information. Fans are now able to access information in image and text format and will even be able to zoom in on the map.

Being able to gain this information earlier and online will enhance the Wales Rally GB experience for every spectator. Not only will formulating an itinerary with routes to and from each stage become simpler, but the online resource will also be a great way to arrange the finer details like finding the best spot to watch the forest stage action!

You can access this online resource in the ‘Spectator’ area of the event website, www.walesrallygb.com

Sebastien Loeb has won Rallye Monte-Carlo for a sixth time following a dominant performance behind the wheel of the Citroen DS3 WRC he shares with Monegasque co-driver Daniel Elena.

Of the 74 starters who began Wales Rally GB in Llandudno on Thursday 10th November, 40 were classified at the end of the four-day,1860 kms rally which featured 23 timed special stages as it wound its way from the North coast to the ceremonial finish in Cardiff.

As this year's Wales Rally GB - the final and deciding round of the 2011 FIA World Rally Championship - draws to a close, Business Minister, Edwina Hart has announced a funding package of £1.4 million for the 2012 event.
