Rally dates and routes
June 6, 2011
The official launch of Wales Rally GB 2011, which will run from 10th to 13th November 10-13, took place at the Royal Welsh Showground in Builth Wells, Powys where rally organisers, International Motor Sports Limited, officially unveiled the event’s all-new, four-day route and outlined the ticketing strategy.
Announcements included confirmation that tickets for the 13th and final round of the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) will go on sale from June 10, with prices held at 2010 values.
The opening ceremony for Wales Rally GB will take place outside Conwy Castle on the evening of Thursday, November 10, after the first three stages have been run on Thursday afternoon.
Parc Ferme on Thursday will be in Llandudno, moving to Cardiff later in the event. The Royal Welsh Showground in Builth Wells is the venue for Shakedown on Wednesday 9th November, and also houses the main Service Area on Friday 11th, Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th November. Cardiff will host the ceremonial finish on Sunday 13th November.
Andrew Coe, chief executive of Wales Rally GB’s organiser, International Motor Sports Limited, said: “This year’s Wales Rally GB event is all about ensuring the sport is open and accessible to everyone. Not only does the route now encompass a lot more of Wales, but people in the west of England can also reach many of the stages in less than two hours.”
A World Rally Pass (WRP), priced at £99, still represents the best value for money for adults wanting to take in all four days of action. Friday, Saturday and Sunday adult day passes are priced individually at £30 while children can get a day pass for just £1. Access to the Service Park is included in both the WRP and day passes, or priced separately on the day at £10 (children go free), while adult tickets to the Great Orme stage will cost just £20. As in 2010, most adult tickets will include a copy of the official Wales Rally GB programme (valued at £9), which can be collected throughout the event.
