The Port Talbot Motor Club organised event will be ran over approximately 70 stage miles on the famous military roads, with the event’s popular emphasis on longer stages.
Already up for the challenge are some exciting drivers and cars, including the reigning Asphalt Rally champions, Jason Pritchard/Phil Clarke, in their Ford Focus – while six time Asphalt Rally Champion Damian Cole, and former BTRDA Gold Star champion Hugh Hunter, make it a trio of WRC05s.

Jamie Jukes, Philip Hopkins and John Indri are entered in three of Spencer Sport Mitsubishi Mirages, while Ollie Hopkins, Phil Turner and Craig Jones are all in Mitsubishi Evos. Escort Mk2 fans will be well entertained too, with the likes of Phil Turner, Paul Doroszczuk, Graham Hollis, Roger Hicks and Terry Brown preparing to power-slide their way around the ranges.
The huge variety of cars on the growing entry list continues with the likes of Geoff Glover (RWD Astra), Will Mains (Vauxhall Nova), Roger Priestnall (Proton Satria S1600), Rhidian Daniels (Citroen Max 1), Marcus Padgett (Nissan Micra Kit Car), Jonathan Stepney (Peugeot 205 GTI), Wayne Ellis (Peugeot 206), David Longfellow (Subaru Impreza LX) and Richard Clews.
