Wales Rally GB 16 - 19 September 2004
Wales Rally GB has a total of 92 entries, making it one of the few World Rally Championship events this year to gain full entry. Wales Rally GB is always a firm favourite with competitors and this year is no different. This September spectators can expect to see more rally action than ever before, with a full complement of entrants vying for the top spot. And news of the full entry confirms Wales Rally GB’s position as one of the premiere events in the WRC season.
“Wales Rally GB has always been an extremely popular event for spectators and competitors alike,” explains Andrew Coe, Chief Executive of Rally GB Limited. “Hardly any WRC events can boast full entry figures and we are delighted to see that Wales Rally GB continues to be a major draw for teams at all levels keen to push themselves to the limit. Indeed, not only did we achieve a full entry but we were oversubscribed."
With a full entry list and a strong contingent of leading British drivers amongst the entries, including Matthew Wilson, Lorna Smith, Craig Middleton, Steve Petch, Alister McRae and Geoff Jones, Rally organisers expect the event to be even more thrilling this year. The new September dates and the addition of the SupeRally rules, allowing retired cars to restart on the 2nd and 3rd Legs, will mean that there is sure to be a large number of cars still running in the later stages of the event, providing spectators with continued excitement throughout the weekend.
“We aim to build on the success of Wales Rally GB, ensuring it remains one of the most exciting, challenging and rewarding World Rally experiences for everyone involved. This is a world class event that puts Wales on an international stage and without the support of local authorities and organisations none of it would be possible. By forging strong relationships with local businesses and the community we have created an event that raises the profile of rallying and benefits the people of Wales.”
