Wales Rally GB moving further North

I'd love to see Rally GB us a full tarmac stage at Epynt.. the national rallies there are always entertaining, with a good selection of machinery!!!

I really hope WRGB goes into the mid wales stages. There are some classic stages such as Pantperthog, Myherin, Dyfi, Dyfnant, Gartheiniog etc all begging to be used (not literally :p : )

I'll be attending either Ireland or Rally GB next year. If it comes further north i may, just may go to WRGB :)

Last year was probably the Deers Leap jump, just east of Dixies corner. This year they introduced a new jump called Para's. Heres some vids of them..

Yeah thats the jump originally in the margam park stage but now revised to port talbut. they start the stage much further in than previously so they dont use the stretch of road where Beef died in 2005 as a mark of respect.

Shortly after that jump as opposed to heading down the valley to margam they now head further up. If you go to Carpark A (look on wales rally gb website) and follow the track in the direction the cars approach from its about a 15 min walk, one of the highlights of my trip to wales this year. Hirvonen was awesome on that jump, he must of jumped about 6 foot further than anyone else.
