Ever since Wales Rally GB dropped off the World Rally Championship calendar in 2020, the UK rally scene has been bereft of a global event. But the wait is finally over as this weekend marks the return of international-level rallying in Britain with the European Rally Championship hosting its penultimate round of the season in Wales.
While the rally-mad nation’s famous gravel forest WRC stages continue to lie dormant, the emergence of Rali Ceredigion offers a new breed of high-speed asphalt tests, where the best from the European continent and Britain will do battle. Perhaps more importantly, the 14-stage event is seen as a beacon of hope for British rallying and an opportunity to showcase itself on the international stage once again.
