See the World's best Rally drivers in action! Wales Rally GB is one of the most thrilling and action-packed motor sport events you will see in Great Britain and, as part of the FIA World Rally Championship, it brings a combination of world class stars and local heroes together to battle it out over 1200km in Wales. The weather is notoriously unpredictable, which adds to the atmosphere of the event and also dictates how muddy, slippery or dusty the route will be.
Spectator passes are now on sale and the range available means that spectators can benefit from:
