The Nicky Grist Stages will give fans a BRC, BTRDA, Welsh and historic championship super rally weekend
This summer’s Nicky Grist Stages 9 & 10 July is the only event to host a round of both the MSA British Rally Championship and BTRDA rally series – and with other major championships like the MSA Welsh Rally Championship and the Stage Masters Historic Stage Rally Challenge taking place too, it promises to be a truly super rally weekend for fans.
While Formula 1 supporters will be at Silverstone for the British Grand Prix the same weekend, British rally fans will be heading to the famous Epynt military ranges, bordering Carmarthenshire and Powys, for two days of outstanding rally action, organised by Quinton Motor Club.
The first day, Saturday 9 July, will be run over 45 miles of challenging gravel roads, while the following day will take crews over 55 miles of fast and undulating Tarmac roads of the ranges.
Nicky Grist said, “This year’s rally will be an exciting challenge for all crews, but more so for the BRC competitors.
“The split of two different surfaces over the two days could possibly give us a different outcome to the overall results, but will also be a challenge for the service crews, as they will have a full suspension change after Saturday’s gravel stages. This event format is certainly a break from the norm, and is a throwback to events in the early eighties.”
