‘’The stars come out at Night’’

The 12th November will see the 2nd running of the ‘North Wales Rally Forum’, the night before the regions biggest sporting event, Wales Rally GB, kicks off in Deeside. Based again at the Village Hotel St.David’s Park Ewloe, the team from local motor club Broughton Bretton will be looking to build on 2013’s successful inaugural event which saw over £2000 donated to various charities. This year’s nominated charity is Wales Air Ambulance.

Compered once again by 1996 British Champion co-driver and S4C presenter Howard Davies, he will be ably assisted by the font of all knowledge on the World Rally Championship ,official WRC radio presenter Colin Clark.

First of our guests is current Citroen Abu Dhabi World Rally Team driver, one of two UK drivers currently in the WRC ,Kris Meeke.

The organsiers are also delighted to confirm the attendance of the UK’s very own M-Sport World Rally Team !! Representing them is Wales’s newest World Rally star Elfyn Evans.

Our first guest from the glory days we can confirm is 1980 Rally GB winning co-driver Paul White. Paul was the man who guided the sadly much missed Henri Toivonen on that event, he has also sat alongside such luminaries as Markku Alen and Mikael Sundstrom. No doubt the stories will be the stuff of legend.

Event organiser Brynmor Pierce ‘’we’re indebted to the generosity of the crews and guests in giving their time so freely and to the Rally GB organsiers for really getting behind what we’re trying to do’’, ‘’as a small local motor club the chance to promote such a prestigious evening whilst raising funds for a cause close to all of us was one which we couldn’t miss, the feedback has been amazing’’.

Tickets go on sale from Monday October 13th priced at £12 each, available via Nia on 01352 219210 or 07777 659186, doors due to open at 6.30pm on the 12th November.

Sorry, I know this is the most annoying sort of question possible on these boards, but when does the entry list usually get announced?

closing date for entries received is Monday 13th Oct. Some info will appear about a week after that,usually Manufacturers team entries first, then the full list.

I see in rallyguide 1 that closing date for entries is 13 oktober, so i guess in the days after that the entrylist will be announced.

Edit: MJW was just a little bit faster

Thanks guys, I think I asked exactly the same question last year, apologies!

Only did Friday and Thursday last year, so looking forward to seeing the full 2/day national field this year too.

Have heard rumours that Petter Solberg is doing the rally in a 2wd car'. Anyone have any more info? Could it be the Tuthill's Porsche R-GT?

So that would make Condroz a warm up - maybe a taster for the GT cup?
