There will be a selection of WRC cars running on the superspecial-style stage on Sunday October 31st. The exact route of the stage has not yet being agreed, but Gloddaeth Street /Avenue from the West Shore is a strong contender. Promotional events will also be held in Conwy on Saturday 30th.

The events is part of the organiser International Motor Sports’ push into North Wales, based around the new flexible WRC route rules.

IMS chief Andrew Coe said: “There are still a lot of details to be finalised. We’ve got quite a few people interested, because they’ll be coming straight from Rally Spain the previous weekend to test around here”. It’s possible that the 2011 Rally GB could start in north Wales and finish in Cardiff.

A spokesperson for the North Wales Car Club commented on the news “This will be so positive for both the area and the sport, North Wales has always been synonymous with Rallying. We’re looking forward to assisting with the event on our home ground”.

The event will require lots of marshalling, so if anyone is interested in assisting, then please can you contact Rob Formstone rob@rallymag.com
