ALL INFORMATION PROVISIONAL The Rally GB 2006 is with us again but with a new date of December. Back to probable wet weather and the massively uncertain surface conditions causing problems of tyre choice which makes the Rally GB one of the most challening in the calendar. For this year Margam Country Park is not used. Big changes will take place next year as the WRC calendar alters to a Summer, not Winter break. Distance is approximately 350km over the three days, with Shakedown on Thursday. Please check with the event organisers and the official rally website before making your travel arrangements. What to note. Firstly, each forest stage runs twice on the same day to reduce spectator movement and increase your viewing opportunities. Secondly, this is the final round of the WRC, J-WRC and the BRC which is fantastic for the inclusion of the majority of international and doemstic rally stars competing in 2006. Thirdly, service stays at the purpose built facility at Felindre, Swansea. If you want to see every driver and co-driver for an autography then an early start at Felindre means you can catch them as they wait to walk into Parc Ferme.. Fourthly, the Cardiff Super Special runs Saturday evening in the Millennium Stadium. With three major championships running and Super Rally rules, this years Rally GB could be the most exciting yet. Have fun, watch your speed, stay safe and check times and stages officially before travelling. WHERE TO GO and HOW TO GET THERE The general timetable is shown below. We have also prepared location pages for each leg explaining each stages location. You can visit those pages by pressing the coloured text left or pressing any of the stage names in the table. SPEED CAMERAS - South Wales Police enforce speed limits more vigorously during the event.
