A Rally adventure ... Fuelling Rally fever

Wales Rally GB, Britain's round of the FIA World Rally Championship, will visit a far greater area of Wales this November, with an opening stage on the legendary Great Orme set to kick off 2011's event. The Rally will also include central service at Builth Wells and forays to the classic forest stages of North and Mid Wales, culminating on the spectacular Epynt military ranges near Brecon.

The Royal Welsh Agricultural Society's (RWAS) permanent showground in Builth Wells, Powys will be home for the main service area, which will be under cover for the first time in recent years in Rally GB. The RWAS showground will also play host to the Shakedown on Wednesday, 9th November.

The event gets underway on Thursday, 10th November in Llandudno, where two stages on the Great Orme Toll road - last used on the Lombard RAC Rally in 1981 - and one at Clocaenog - last used on the Network Q RAC Rally in 1996 - will make up the competitive mileage for the first day. An opening ceremony will take place outside the picturesque castle in Conwy in the early evening, before competitors and their cars return to Llandudno for overnight Parc Ferme.

Friday will begin with an early morning start and the three stages in Dyfi Forest - first used on the 1961 Rally of Great Britain - before heading to Dyfnant Forest, south of Lake Vyrnwy and onto the RWAS showground for midday service. The loop will be repeated in the afternoon and competitors and their cars will stay overnight in Cardiff after travelling south from service in Builth Wells.

On Saturday, 12th November, the event moves on to the much-loved stages in Hafren, Sweet Lamb and Myherin, before a repeat loop in the afternoon. The day will finish in Cardiff with Rallyfest.

Sunday will bring the 1,850 kilometre event - and the 13-round, 2011 FIA World Rally Championship - to a close. Six stages in total - including the FIA WRC 'Power Stage' which will be televised live - will be based around Epynt, centering on the Halfway, Crychan and Monument timed stages. After a final visit to Builth Wells for servicing, the surviving WRC teams and private competitors will head to Cardiff Castle for the ceremonial finish in Cardiff.

We look forward to welcoming you to Wales in November!
