Still nothing on evo.co.uk or their youtube page. But that’s more than made up for by the fact there was a little ‘evo’ logo at the bottom of the results table on the MSUK highlights, in amongst all the other champ’ sponsors…

It will appear later on in the season, both in the magazine, and in their YouTube channel......
The Cambrian have put out the rally guide, and there is a 7 mile Tarmac stage run twice on the Friday night.
The stage map is posted in the ‘residents’ section. Looks pretty cool and it should be interesting in the damp late October weather!Quote:

Tom Cave is back for Ceredigion :) ... but in a Corsa-e ! :(
Interesting though, I wonder if someone's trying to get a Championship going? Presumably Cave is at least getting a free run, so there must be some money behind it...
Mainly seems to be due to this rally trying to promote all things sustainable...Quote:

Yes, wishful thinking on my part!Quote:

The Corsa-e entry is supported by Cawdor, Vauxhall dealers covering Mid and West Wales, Renewable Developments Wales, Myerscough College, Go Fetch pet travel, Michelin tyres, Garry Davies Accident Repairs and ATech Racing.
James Williams will be in the first Hyundai Racing i20 Rally2 in the UK...

BTW, Paddon is using an old i20 R5.
Live coverage from the event announced:
https://www.raliceredigion.co.uk/art...ali-live-team/
Cronin gone off on SS4 and Paddon & Evans stopped, stage blocked !
Day 2 and close times between Paddon and Pryce. Hope Pryce doesnt get too involved as he doesnt need to beat Paddon who is in the TER not BRC.
He's nearly a minute up on 3rd placed Williams; just keep a nice pace, and take 2nd place....and the BRC lead.
Great stuff - Osian Pryce wins the BRC element and sets up the remainder of the season nicely.
Been told there will be highlights for the Ceredigion Rally soon on S4C.

A 1-hour programme on 19th Sept.Quote:

The moorland section of Devil’s Bridge/Llanfihangel was another highlight.
Bont Goch was a slightly different route for the second half, and they didn’t use the small concrete bridge next to the dam. But yes a good route - can’t help but think though that longer stages just give a higher risk of losing a lot of mileage in case of accidents, as we discovered on the Friday night. Splitting them into two smaller stages would give better options but of course needs an extra set of timing marshals and senior officials.Quote:

Yes I was thinking that about Glan yr Afon and Devil’s bridge being joined as one mammoth stage for Llanfihangel. Luckily no stage cancellations in the end.
What sort of thing have you heard for next year? I was wonderinng if residents had opposed to the Ystumtuen stage being used again this year but I found on the Ceredigion Council website for all the road closures there was an ‘Ystumtuen Spare Closure’ suggesting it wasn’t completely dead in the water… Perhaps though this was just from back in the early planning stages?
Yep for the Motor Race Order (whatever the Welsh equivalent is) it’s much easier to not use a road that’s been approved, but you can’t add it later if for whatever reason one of the others can’t be used.Quote:

I'm sure that one or two switched on organisers have applied for an MRO for all the intended stages plus a reserve stage, in case it's needed.Quote:

I heard a couple of mentions that it could try to be part of the ERC in future. That would also be a big lift to the sport here if it happens. Anything that can raise the profile has to be a good thing.
Yes, it's more than capable on the organisational side of being in the ERC. The issue will be ££££££
Yes, but a MRO is for a specific date.Quote:

Interesting to note that Elfyn Evans has driven some of the stages they’re hoping to run next year, sounds like they can put on more stage km next year which can only be a good thingQuote:

Strange to swap so late in the season.Quote:

Got to say that I think the organisers of Rally Yorkshire are taking the p*ss a bit. £17 for a single stage ticket on Saturday and each stage is only run once, worse still, tickets MUST still be brought online (they even say poor signal in the area so you must buy in advance), tickets won't be sold on the gate... £22 for a day ticket, though I likely can't get there for the morning run, so doesn't work for me. I thought spectators travelling between stages was considered a bad thing by the sport's gatekeepers...?
I guess the rally was too popular last year.
Is/was anyone else planning to go?
Think it’s expensive compared to most events, but spectators should be paying more to help with the eye watering cost of organising these events rather then just increasing the entry fee for competitors.Quote:
