The nights are drawing in and there’s a chill in the air: in motorsport terms that spells the annual return of the FIA World Rally Championship to the UK.
That said, this year’s Dayinsure Wales Rally GB (née RAC Rally or Network Q Rally) has moved further forward in the globe-trotting WRC calendar – it’s now round 11 of 13 and takes place from October 4-7.
The change of date is great news for the majority of spectators venturing into the renowned Welsh forest stages… even if some diehard fans still yearn for the snow, fog and ice that made the event’s traditional November slot so challenging for drivers and fans alike.
And if your exposure to top-flight motorsport is limited to Formula One on TV, prepare to be amazed by what spectacle of the World Rally Championship protagonists in full flight.
