One of the most popular events in the Welsh rallying calendar is in the firing line.
Next year’s Nicky Grist Stages 8-9 July will host round five of the 2017 MSA British Rally Championship (BRC) – and whilst that will be a two-day mixed surface event, there will also be one-day rounds of other major championships, including the Ravenol BTRDA Rally Series, run on both the Saturday and Sunday next summer.
Organised by Quinton Motor Club, the date of the 2017 Nicky Grist Stages was published as 15-16 July, but owing to MOD activities on the Epynt military range, the event will take place one week earlier on 8-9 July.
More details will follow but for now note the change of date.
