This autumn’s Dayinsure Wales Rally GB on October 4-7 will not only be making history, but also celebrating rallying’s illustrious history when the latest generation of competing WRC cars – the fastest machines the sport has ever witnessed – will be joined by a dazzling showcase of iconic rally cars from the past.

For the very first time on the British mainland, closed sections of public roads in the event’s official host county of Conwy will witness the WRC stars racing against the clock around the famed Great Orme, and then through the streets of Llandudno. At the same time, a very special Rally Legends display will be based in the resort and open to the public throughout the weekend. These cars will also be parading around the Great Orme and right into the heart of the picturesque town centre.

Guaranteeing a huge crowd, admittance to the new Great Orme Llandudno street stage is absolutely free of charge, though a limited number of Grandstand and Rally Xtra @ Llandudno upgrades are available. “It’s going to be a milestone weekend in British motorsport history, and the presence of all these wonderful cars from yesteryear will be an integral part of an exciting rally festival in Llandudno,” enthused Ben Taylor, Managing Director of Dayinsure Wales Rally GB. “We will pay homage to the sport’s glorious past and the famous names of Paddy Hopkirk, Roger Clark, Richard Burns and Colin McRae, but also introduce a new breed of rally fan to the amazing WRC of today.”

While admittance to the Rally Legends showcase and Great Orme Llandudno street stage are free, tickets for the other 20 speed tests, including Thursday evening’s floodlit curtain raiser at Tir Prince Raceway, are on sale with significant discounts for those buying early. Adult prices start at £15, with the premium four-day event pass remaining at £99 for the ninth successive year. Accompanied children aged 15 and under are admitted free to general admission areas.
