2 . Welcome Croeso cynnes iawn a warm welcome to Wales Rally GB, one of the UK s leading motorsports events. We re looking forward to the 05 event and to building on the past two years which have been such a success with fans and competitors alike and have given a major boost to the north Wales economy. It s widely recognised that Wales has some of the finest rally stages anywhere in the world. The spectacular scenery and landscapes of North Wales will again provide the perfect backdrop for Wales Rally GB. RallyFest stages set against stunning backdrops such as Chirk Castle proved to be a big hit and extended the appeal of the Rally. The Welsh Government s support for the Rally also shows our continued commitment to Wales Rally GB, which has significant links with the automotive sector in Wales. Wales is home to around 50 component and systems manufacturing companies and has 7,000 people employed in automotive manufacturing with an annual turnover of 3 billion. Enjoy your time in Wales and at the Rally of Legends, and I hope you find time to visit some of the outstanding attractions our country has to offer while you re here. Ken Skates Deputy Minister for Culture, Sport and Tourism Welsh Government

3 Welcome to Wales Rally GB an award-winning event that just keeps getting better and better since its move to a new base in north Wales. This will be the third year that the concluding round of the FIA World Rally Championship has had its headquarters in Deeside and November s finale will continue to build on the many notable successes of the past 4 months. While we are delighted that these achievements have been recognised recently with the award of the coveted Best Event (Large) accolade at the National Tourism Awards for Wales 05, we are far from resting on our laurels. As a result, we are confident this year s Wales Rally GB will be the best yet. For starters the competitive route for 05 sees the re-introduction of the famous Myherin and iconic Great Orme stages last seen in 03. The former is always is great favourite with competitors while the latter provides one of the most stunning backdrops on the globe-trotting WRC calendar. As tradition dictates the majority of the thrilling timed sections are set on some of the world s finest gravel tracks in the awe-inspiring Welsh forests. Adding to the challenge and spectacle, two of these epic stages will be held after sunset on Saturday. Thanks to our enthusiastic partners in Conwy County Borough Council the event commences on Thursday evening with a sparkling Ceremonial Start on what s sure to be a crowded Mostyn Street in Llandudno. The dramatic high-speed action then blasts off early Friday morning on familiar Wales Rally GB territory in mid-wales. There are double runs through the well-known Hafren, Sweet Lamb and Myherin stages, either side of a lunchtime regroup on the busy streets of central Newtown. Saturday offers an even longer and more challenging day starting with back-to-back runs through the classic Gartheiniog and Dyfi forests to the north of Machynlleth. The route returns to Deeside via the fast and tricky Dyfnant and Aberhirnant stages and the well-established, family-friendly RallyFest at Chirk Castle. After a short service, the intrepid crews then set out for a second run through both Dyfnant and Aberhirnant, this time under cover of darkness. Sunday is a shorter but no less spectacular day set entirely in north Wales. The Brenig and Alwen stages introduced last year both feature again, with the second run through Brenig being Wales Rally GB s concluding Power Stage. In-between comes the wonderful test around the Great Orme. This year s Ceremonial Finish and prize-giving have been relocated to the Service Park at Deeside, ensuring that celebrations can take place among the teams and fans to create a memorable finale to the 05 WRC season. It all adds up to 9 Special Stages and 3 kms (9 miles) of fiercely fought competition for what we are certain will be a brilliant conclusion to this year s FIA World Rally Championship. The popularity of the National Rally is another important factor in the recent success story and, ensuring crews from all levels of the sport within the UK can be part of a World Championship rally, the route for the WRGB National Rally shadows the international event and, by popular demand, the teams are also based in Deeside. It s been written that this year s route is a celebration of everything that s good and great about the present and past of Britain s round of the WRC. Praise indeed but we are confident the 05 Wales Rally GB will build on all the recent massive accomplishments and fully live up to everyone s everescalating expectations. I wish you all a very safe, enjoyable and successful Wales Rally GB and thank you for being such an important part of this great event. Alan Gow Chairman, The Motor Sports Association 3

Accreditation Principles Editors of publications, agencies and websites are asked to conform to the following principles to ensure that media accreditation is restricted to professional journalists and photographers. The FIA considers the Media pass to be a working tool to be used only by bona fide members of the press. Publishers, marketing personnel, sub-editors, staff of the publication s secretariat, etc. cannot be accredited as Media. The FIA only accredits publications: a) with a minimum circulation whose size and quality fulfil the criteria of the FIA; b) with a format and quality which fulfil the criteria of the FIA; c) which are on sale to the public via retail outlets (trade, club or internal company magazines will normally not be accredited). However, at the sole discretion of the FIA, and where the quality and circulation criteria justify their consideration, such magazines may be eligible for accreditation on a case by case basis. TV and radio broadcasters, and any electronic media wishing to broadcast moving images, must send their request to accreditation@wrc.com Under no circumstances will advertising, public relations agencies or similar companies and organisations be accredited as media, nor will the Organisers issue any accreditation to representatives (press officers or otherwise) of sponsors, suppliers, engine suppliers, teams, drivers, etc. National press must apply to the National Press Officer (press from countries should apply to the FIA). Once applications have been processed by Wales Rally GB and approved by the FIA, a letter or confirming successful accreditation will be sent to the applicant(s). This letter must be produced when collecting passes at the event. No pass(es) can be collected without this confirmation. All accredited photographers must attend a pre-event Safety Briefing in the Media Office, Deeside before being granted an official tabard for special access. 8
