Over 100 entries have already been received for this year’s Rallynuts Motorsport Severn Valley Stages and with only days left until entries close for the 4th June event, organisers are predicting one of the largest entries the event has seen for many years. Crews from some of the best rally championships in the UK will head to the Builth Wells based event to tackle 45 miles over seven “prime condition” stages which have been confirmed after the final route survey this week.
As a round of the Mintex MSA British Historic Rally Championship, Pirelli MSA Welsh Rally Championship, HRCR Stage Masters Challenge and FMP Rally Challenge, the Rallynuts Motorsport Severn Valley Stages will see a wide and varied depth of entries to this year’s event. Thanks to the efforts of the Motor Sports Association and Natural Resources Wales, an extension to the 2015 forestry fees (for this event only) enabled the event to go ahead as planned.
Regular championship contenders will be joined by MSA British Rally Championship hopefuls who are all eager to sample the fresh new route in 2016 which includes the popular Radnor test after a break of six years. In a bid to provide a value for money rally, the Midland Manor Motor Club organising committee has achieved a route which has 64% of single stage usage (36% of repeat usage) with an entry fee of just £525 and only utilises stages which have been chosen for their prime condition.
