The Cambrian Rally 2012 is set in the challenging famous welsh forests of Clocaenog and Penmachno. The forests of North Wales are synonymous with rallying especially the Lombard RAC (now the WRC) back in the late eighties, with legendary drivers such as Stig Blomqvist, Markku Alen, Per Eklund and Juha Kankkunen. In addition to the forest stages for 2012 we will be once again using the Great Orme stage.
In 2009 the Cambrian was joined by a selection of top WRC drivers, Mikko Hirvonen as course car, Mads Ostberg (overall winner of the Cambrian), Steve Perez and Nasser Al-Attiyah.
Now in its 57th year (its been running since 1955!) the Cambrian is one of the qualifying rounds of the BTRDA (British Trail Drivers Association). The Cambrian is recognised as one of the best rallies in the UK. This was confirmed in 2008 and 2009 when it was crowned 'Best Event' by both the BTRDA and ANWCC.
Today the Cambrian Rally is organised by the highly experienced members of the North Wales Car Club (NWCC) and has done since it was formed in 1955. The event offers a real challenge for competitors, driving through some of the best forest stages, in some of the finest scenery in the UK.
For spectators, it offers a packed day and a chance to see some classic Mk2 escorts and WRC cars getting very sideways.
The Cambrian Rally has an official photograper for the event Simon Clarke, SC Photography. Photos will be available direct from his website
On behalf of the North Wales Car Club, we would like to acknowledge our appreciation to the Forestry Commission Wales who have made this event possible.
