Apparently the 1997 RAC route was changed at the last minute. This TV preview shows Taliesin planned for Monday and some other changes.

Not that difficult to do when the stages are all on private land - as long as all the stages have been recce'd by the crews. Much more difficult on a tarmac rally, as proposed for Northern Ireland, where you are using closed public roads and need to apply for and announce the road closure times in advance of the event. It's even easier to make changes on a secret route event. The Roger Albert Clark Rally in 2010 made a completely new route on the last day when the planned stages were blocked by snow.

I reckon that is from a draft route from earlier in the year. I remember ordering my 'Rally pack' in October and already knowing there were 2 runs of Hafren; one early morning, then the other late afternoon/early evening.
As for 2021; at the moment I doubt there will be one....
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

In 2013 the route for the Penmachno stage on Thursday night had to change the day before the stage ran. If you look on rally maps website, the map shows the original route. There are two hairpins towards the end of the stage, the second of which requires permission from the farmer to use his field for Marshall’s/access etc...and he withdrew the permission the day before. The stage actually we went straight on at the first hairpin and down to the bottom of the valley.
I don’t know how they sorted it out.

They issued the bulletin the day before of the stage but the recce was done in the right way.
