The Lewis and Hunter Cambrian Rally on Saturday October 25 marks round five out of six in this year's Motorsport UK Pirelli Welsh Rally Championship and there is absolutely everything still to play for in the title race.

STAR GAZING CONTINUES!...

This time last year Elliot Payne/Patrick Walsh (Fiesta Rally2) had already secured the Fuchs Lubricants BTRDA Gold Star® Championship title – in Payne’s case for a record-breaking third consecutive time.

Indeed, for the first time for a number of years, the Cambrian is not the final encounter in the BTRDA Rally Series – that honour falls to the Grizedale Stages in early December – and, so, the North Wales forests will bear witness to the latest chapter in the quest for stardom – literally!
