Wales Rally GB 2015: Llandudno's Great Orme stage returns for this year's event
One of the most spectacular events in the rallying calendar is to return – and this year it will include the popular Great Orme stage in Llandudno.
Wales Rally GB (November 12-15), the concluding round of the 2015 FIA World Rally Championship, will again be based in Deeside, with most of the timed Special Stages set in the forests of North and Mid Wales.
ut fans will welcome the return of the iconic Great Orme and famous Myherin stages, last seen in 2013.
Wales Rally GB managing director Ben Taylor said: “The event has received many plaudits and awards since it moved to its new base in north Wales, but we are always looking at ways to improve the rally for both competitors and spectators.
“This year’s revised route combines the best bits from the past two years for those in the cars – Myherin is a real favourite with the drivers and the Great Orme provides one of the sport’s most dramatic settings.”
Organisers have a new advance ticketing scheme, offering up to 25% off 2014 prices. And a move to e-ticketing makes the process easier and saves money on the booking fees and postage.
Forest Day Passes have dropped from £33 to £25 this year too.
The three-day meeting with 19 special stages over 191 miles features the family-friendly RallyFest at Chirk Castle, as well as the unique challenge of two stages run in darkness on Saturday evening.
After two years of hosting the ceremonial finish, Llandudno will this year host to the ceremonial start,
.........while the finish will switch to Deeside........ This will extend the opening times of the hugely popular service park into Sunday and ensure that teams and fans can share in the end-of-season champagne celebrations.Access to the service park, as well as to the start and finish and the regroups in Newtown on Friday and Llandudno on Sunday morning will be free of charge. Last year, more than 40,000 people visited these areas.
