Rally Guide 1

1. WelcomeCroeso cynnes iawn – a warm welcome to Wales Rally GB, one of the UK’s leading motorsports events.

We’re looking forward to the 2016 event and to build on our experiences of previous years which have been such a success with fans and competitors alike and have given a major boost to the north and mid Wales economy.

Wales has some of the finest rally stages anywhere in the world and the Wales Rally GB is a showcase for the spectacular scenery and landscapes of north Wales.

The Welsh Government’s support for the Rally also shows our continued commitment to the event, which has significant links with the automotive sector. Wales is home to around 150 component and systems manufacturing companies and has 18,500 people employed in automotive manufacturing with an annual turnover of £3.4 billion.

This year’s Wales Rally GB promises to be another spectacular event and is yet another example of the amazing adventures which can be had here in Wales during our designated Year of Adventure. During this year we’re inviting people to find their epic in Wales, share with us where your adventures take you while in Wales #findyourepic.

Ken SkatesCabinet Secretary for the Economy and Infrastructure Welsh Government

Dayinsure is delighted to be introducing itself as the new title partner of Wales Rally GB and this is a highly significant and exciting opportunity for us. The availability of temporary vehicle insurance is something of a new concept for many in the UK and this exciting partnership will provide us with the perfect platform to promote the opportunity to take out such short-term cover and also its simplicity.

Since being established in 2005 – and with backing from Aviva and Allianz – Dayinsure has grown into one of the UK’s leading short-term, online car insurance firms and the www.dayinsure.com website now attracts more than a million visitors a year. The company is based locally in Tarporley, Cheshire and provides customers with an easy way to add an additional driver to their vehicle or a cost effective way of insuring themselves on another vehicle on a temporary basis. Cover is comprehensive and available immediately for any 24-hour period from one to 28 days.

From a personal perspective, I grew up watching Rally GB back in the eighties, so it’s a really proud moment to see Dayinsure associated with such a famous sporting event. We are now looking forward to cars being flagged off at the end of October and wish everyone an exciting and safe event.

Dennis RyanDayinsure Founder and Chairman


Rally Guide 1

Welcome to the Dayinsure Wales Rally GB – our award-winning event that just keeps getting better and better. Indeed, this will be the fourth year that Britain’s legendary round of the FIA World Rally Championship has been headquartered in Deeside and our event continues to build on the many notable recent successes.

Since relocating to Deeside, the world class sporting spectacle which runs through some of Wales’ most stunning scenery, has gone from strength-to-strength. Last year it attracted 87,000 spectators, an over-subscribed 160-car entry, international crews from 25 different countries and delivered £10m of economic benefit to the Welsh economy as well as extensive global TV and media coverage.

We are far from resting on our laurels, though, and have made a number of significant changes adding yet more both to challenge for competitors and to the appeal for spectators - not least as the earlier date at the end of October promises better autumnal weather and also coincides with schools’ half-term break.

Wales has declared 2016 as its ‘Year of Adventure’ and this year’s competitive route will certainly live up to that thrill-seeking billing. The 22 special stages – the majority of which are set on some of the world’s best gravel tracks through the awe-inspiring Welsh forests – is the longest and most challenging since the move to the north of the country in 2013.

Adding to the spirit of adventure, famous stages such as the classic Myherin and Hafren tests are to be run in reverse for the first time in more than 20 years while the demanding Pantperthog stage hasn’t been included since 1997.

The route also presents a new home for Saturday’s family-friendly RallyFest which, after three years at Chirk Castle, moves to nearby Cholmondeley Castle – a venue which is already well known to motoring and motor sport enthusiasts thanks to its annual ‘Power and Speed’ festival. The WRC will also be be making a very welcome return to Chester for what’s certain to be a popular Friday evening stop off in the historic city centre.

There are other great opportunities for the public to see the cars and stars up close, too. Thanks to our enthusiastic partners in Conwy County Borough Council the event commences on Thursday evening with a sparkling Ceremonial Start at the Parc Eirias stadium in Colwyn Bay, while the winners will be crowned in style on Mostyn Street in the seaside town of Llandudno on Sunday afternoon. As with Chester and Friday’s mid-day Regroup in Newtown, public admission is totally free of charge to both the start and finish ceremonies. All are welcome to the Deeside Rally Village, too.

UK rallying is certainly on an upward trajectory; Kris Meeke’s victory in Portugal confirms his standing among the very best in the world, while the revitalised MSA British Rally Championship is also contributing to a fantastic year for the sport.

Of course, the whole event would not be possible without the continued and incredibly enthusiastic support of our partners; principally the Welsh Government, with whom we are entering a new three-year agreement as principal funding partner, Conwy County Borough Council, Natural Resources Wales and all the other authorities and organisations who make it possible to bring a world class event to the region. We are also delighted to welcome a new title partner to the event and we look forward to making sure that the 2016 Dayinsure Wales Rally GB is going to be a very special event for you.

Finally, I wish you all a very safe, enjoyable and successful Dayinsure Wales Rally GB – and thank you for being such an important part of this great event.

Alan GowChairmanMotor Sports Association


Rally Guide 1

1.2 Changes for 2016The service park and scrutineering will continue to be located at Deeside in North Wales. The Ceremonial Start on Thursday evening will be at Parc Eirias, Colwyn Bay. This venue hosted the Ceremonial Start in 2014.Friday 28 OctoberThe route will use the Myherin, Sweet Lamb and Hafren stages in the reverse direction to 2015 followed by Dyfnant using the same route as last year. Between the two visits to these stages there will be a regroup and tyre fitting zone in Newtown. At the end of the day there will be a short halt in Chester city centre for autograph signing and allowing the fans to get close to the stars and their cars.Saturday 29 OctoberThe first stage of the day in Pantperthog forest has not been used on Rally GB for 20 years. This is followed by the Dyfi stage which will run in the reverse direction from last year whilst Gartheiniog is the same as 2015. Following a regroup in Corris, these 3 stages are repeated before a single run through the Aberhirnant stage, with the same route as last year. The spectator stage at Chirk Castle will move to nearby Cholmondeley Castle and this short stage will run on asphalt roads.Sunday 30 October3 stages make up the final day starting with Clocaenog which is a stage last used as Clocaenog East in 2014. This is followed by Brenig which will be run partly in the reverse direction from last year to allow spectators to view the end of stage podium celebrations when it runs as the final Power Stage. The third stage of the day is Alwen run to the same route as last year. The ceremonial finish podium will this year revert back to Llandudno town centre.National RallyThe popular National Rally will again give crews in MSA regulation compliant vehicles the chance to compete on all of the stages either running between the first and second loop of the WRC event (Friday) or after the second run of the WRC event (Saturday and Sunday). Full details of this part of Wales Rally GB will be released soon.

Accreditation provides access to the media facilities in Rally HQ and the Service Park in Deeside and designated areas in Special Stages.

News and information can be supplied, free of charge, before, during and after the event to journalists and publications who are unable to attend the rally, or do not qualify for accreditation.

If you need help with your application please contact:

Jonathan Gill, National Press Officer

1. International Print Media & Photographers

Requests from International publications must be sent to the FIA Communications Department using the new online international rally-by-rally accreditation system on www.fia.com. International accreditation closes on Wednesday 5 October.

2. Accreditation Applications from all Television Broadcasters

Requests from TV broadcasters should be sent directly to the WRC Promoter: [email protected]

3. Commercial Photographers

Requests from all commercial photographers should go directly to the WRC Promoter: [email protected]. Applications should be submitted by Wednesday 5 October to allow time for approval.

4. United Kingdom Print Media, Internet Media, Radio & Photographers

Requests from the above must be sent by POST direct to the Wales Rally GB Accreditation Manager, using the form which can be downloaded from the media section on www.walesrallygb.com.

Wales Rally GB is allowed to nominate national/local radio stations to broadcast from the event. Internet media accreditation is only available for journalists not photographers.

Applications must arrive prior to Wednesday 28 September.

Guidelines and Information for Accreditation Applications

Up to a maximum of three (3) representatives per organisation will be considered for accreditation by the FIA. A separate application form should be submitted for each person to be accredited. A maximum of one (1) pass will be issued to websites (photo tabards are not issued to websites).

To be accredited, a publication must:

i) have a circulation size and quality that satisfies the criteria of the FIA.

ii) be on sale to the public.

The FIA considers the media pass to be a working tool to be used only by bona fide members of the press. Publishers, marketing personnel, sub-editors, staff of the publication’s secretariat, etc. cannot be accredited as media.

Media passes can be allocated to general news, specialist, business and lifestyle consumer publications


Rally Guide 1

that do not intend to publish conventional rally reports but whose coverage is considered to be of promotional benefit to the sport. As a general rule, however, the FIA will not accredit publications less than one year old.

Accreditation for Press Photographers: The FIA provides 12 (twelve) photographer Tabards for UK-based Photographers. Priority will be given to national publications and agencies based on circulation, frequency and previous coverage of Wales Rally GB. All photographers must attend the FIA Media Delegate’s special pre-event safety briefing (time tba) before being granted a tabard.

Additionally a limited number of media may be accredited to cover the Wales Rally GB National Rally but, again, strictly based on circulation, frequency and previous coverage of the National Rally.

Advertising, PR, marketing, or sponsor representatives are not eligible for accreditation.

Once applications have been processed by Dayinsure Wales Rally GB and approved by the FIA, a letter or email confirming successful accreditation will be sent to the applicant(s). This letter must be produced when collecting passes at the event. No pass(es) can be collected without this confirmation.

Please note that tighter restrictions introduced for media accreditation in 2015 will be remain in place for this year’s event.
