Description by the author

In the Rally Route series, the history of appealing rallies is discussed. It also points out the pleasure of driving on challenging and imaginative roads at a high-tourist pace.
The Wales Rally GB, formerly known as RAC Rally, has a special character. In earlier years, large parts of England and Scotland were used as competition grounds, since the beginning of the new millennium Cardiff, the capital of Wales, has served as the end point. Which fits well with the modern, compact approach of the World Rally Championship.
Beautiful classification tests are up for grabs.
