Many of the UK’s most famous, challenging and popular forestry stages will once again come together to form the 2024 Motorsport UK Pirelli Welsh Rally Championship.
Next year will be the 13 consecutive year of title sponsorship from Pirelli, which has supported the series every year since 2012.
The Welsh Association of Motor Clubs organised series will contain seven rounds, with five of the best scores to count.
All events will be one day, with a maximum of 45 stage miles.
Next year’s series will begin with the Get Jerky Rally North Wales on Saturday 16 March. Organised by Wolverhampton & South Staffs Car Club, this year’s event featured a fantastic start and finish ceremony in the centre of Welshpool, with stages in Dyfnant and Dyfi forest complex.
Round 2 will be the Rallynuts Severn Valley Stages on Saturday 13 April. Organised by Midland Manor Motor Club, the event will feature stages in Myherin, Sarnau, Sweet Lamb and Hafren forests and be based at the Royal Welsh Showground in Llanelwedd.
Next up will be a visit to Bala for the Plains Rally on Saturday 18 May. Organised by Knutsford & District Motor Club, the event features stages in the Aberhirnant, Llangower and Alwen forests.
The Nicky Grist Stages will host Round 4 on Saturday 13 July. Organised by Quinton Motor Club, the event is based in the centre of Builth Wells with stages in Llyn Login, Crychan, Halfway and Monument, situated in and around the nearby Epynt military range.
Round 5 will be the Phil Price Memorial Woodpecker Stages. Organised by Sixty and Worcestershire Motor Club, this year’s event had an exciting new format with stages in Cwmysgawen, Ceri and Haye Park forests and next year the event will take place on Saturday 7 September.
The sixth and penultimate round will be the Visit Conwy Cambrian Rally. Based in Llandudno, the North Wales Car Club organised event brings competitors some of the very best former Wales Rally GB stages, including Clocaenog, Brenig and Alwen.
