Power and Speed scene-setter for Dayinsure Wales Rally GBRally sport well represented at popular three-day motoring festivalCastle revs up for October’s family-friendly half-term extravaganza Last weekend’s high-octane Power and Speed festival at Cholmondeley Castle acted as the perfect curtain-raiser for this year’s Dayinsure Wales Rally GB (27-30 October).
Rally cars past and present joined a long list of exotic sports and supercars performing at the 2016 Power and Speed festival, while the special Wales Rally GB display stand provided thousands of visitors with a unique insight into the forthcoming world class event.
When the FIA World Rally Championship comes to Britain later this year, the Cheshire stately home will host a half-term family-friendly RallyFest stage on Saturday 29 October.
RallyFests are designed to deliver a full day of thrilling entertainment for visitors of all ages and appealing particularly to new rally spectators and those attending with children, who will benefit from easier access and more facilities than the forest stages.
Visitors to Cholmondeley in October will savour the spectacular action as the WRC stars and cars race against-the-clock around the Castle’s challenging parkland tracks. They will also be treated to tyre-burning donuts, jumps, big screen action, commentary, car displays, a catering village, and a host of other attractions including an autograph session with the top drivers.
“We are really looking forward to the new RallyFest at Cholmondeley Castle,” said Ben Taylor, Wales Rally GB Managing Director. “This weekend was a great platform to tell people about this year’s Dayinsure Wales Rally GB and everyone wanted to know what was coming in October, particularly as it takes place in half-term. It’s going to be a great day out!”
Indeed, with half-term very much in mind, all accompanied children aged 15 and under will enjoy free admission to the RallyFest while adult tickets when purchased in advance are priced at just £20*, rising to £30 on the day. Full information on all ticket offers and details of the full 2016 Dayinsure Wales Rally GB route can be found on the official www.walesrallygb.com website.
