Organisers are pleased to confirm that the second edition of the Aberystwyth-based Get Connected Rali Bae Ceredigion will take place over the weekend of 3rd & 4th September 2022, the only closed road stage rally in Wales set to make its welcome return after a three-year break.
After making a highly successful debut in September 2019, the rally was intended to be an annual occasion. But like many others, prevailing circumstances mean the event cannot take place until 2022. Therefore, at a time of continued uncertainty for event organisers, this announcement is seen as an extremely positive move that establishes a realistic date.
“We are delighted to announce what we consider to be a target we can work towards with confidence”, says Chairman of the Get Connected Rali Bae Ceredigion Organising Committee Phil Pugh.
“It’s always been our intention to organise the rally when the time is right and not before. The event was so well received when it was held in September 2019, we intend to build on that reputation for 2022. Of course, we cannot achieve this without the support of the local community; residents, businesses, authorities, emergency services and the general public.
“Therefore, we’ll be using this period of lead-time to good effect. It will enable us to provide a fantastic experience for competitors, spectators and commercial partners, as well as create another weekend to remember for everyone involved!”
As it did in 2019, the 2022 event will start and finish in Aberystwyth and continue its close associations with the town’s award-winning University. Organisers promise an extended route that like before, will feature a series of challenging and inspiring timed special stages on closed roads over the Cambrian Mountains.
Further news and details surrounding the 2022 Get Connected Rali Bae Ceredigion will be announced over the coming months.
