Dayinsure Wales Rally GB 2019
SteveH:
FULL details of Llandudno’s central role in hosting next month’s Wales Rally GB have been revealed. ref Pioneer
In recent years, the town has featured prominently on the major sporting event’s itinerary, staging both Ceremonial Starts and Finishes.
Llandudno also made history last autumn when it pioneered the UK’s first World Championship motorsport on closed sections of public roads.
This year, however – and for the very first time – it will be home to the entire rally bringing considerable business to the town and invaluable international publicity for tourism in the region between October 2 and 6.
Previously,, the international event has been sited in the Deeside Industrial Park, Flintshire.
Wales Rally GB, round 12 of the hotly contested 2019 FIA World Rally Championship (WRC), will have its busy headquarters in the waterfront Venue Cymru complex – also home to an interactive Big Bang exhibition. Cont...........

Bri Roberts:
Will the Wales Rally GB be racing around the Great Orme this year?
DVT:
Yes, Orme is being used but only for the International section on Sunday. Route info can be found on ...

... my son is co-driving in the National section and is disappointed that they're not doing the Orme stage! National competitors only do Friday and Saturday stages.
Bri Roberts:
Thank you, DVT.
I empathise with DVT Jnr.
DVT:
Further to the above route that SteveH has published, the Nationals (club competitors) only tackle 8 stages and not quite the same order as the Internationals, as follows (this is subject to change):
Friday 4th October
[National 1] Elsi (International Stage 2)
[National 2] Penmachno (International Stage 3)
[National 3] Slate Mountain (International Stage 8)
[National 4] Dyfnant (International Stage 4)
[National 5] Aberhirnant (International Stage 5)
Saturday 5th October
[National 6] Dyfi (International Stage 11)
[National 7] Myherin (International Stage 14)
[National 8] Sweet Lamb (International Stage 15)
So, the Nationals on Friday will be run after the Internationals except for Slate Mountain where they will be first. On Saturday they tackle Dyfi after the Internationals have had their first run, but tackle Myherin and Sweet Lamb after the Internationals have had two runs.
There could be 90 Internationals and 60 Nationals but if they do not get 90 International entries they will make up the numbers from any National reserves that are on the list. That makes for a maximum entry of 150.
All sounds confusing I know!
