Matthew Wilson at RallyFest

STOBART M-Sport Ford Rally Team driver Matthew Wilson will attend Rallyfest North Wales which is being staged this weekend.

The festival, staged at Conwy and Llandudno, has been organised to promote the final round of this year’s FIA World Rally Championship – Wales Rally GB – and will give motorsport fans a taster of what they can expect to see later this month at what is one of Britain’s biggest sporting events.

Wilson, Britain’s leading FIA World Rally Championship driver, will be in attendance on Sunday along with his Ford Focus RS World Rally Car.

Saturday’s festival will run from midday until 4pm in the historic coastal town of Conwy. The event is free and spectators will get a chance to see a range of vehicles competing at this year’s Wales Rally GB. The static display, set against the spectacular backdrop of Conwy Castle and the estuary, will be accompanied by driver question and answer sessions, competitions and a range of entertainment for people of all ages. There will also be competitions run throughout the day and prizes will include passenger rides with Wilson on Sunday and tickets to this year’s Wales Rally GB.

Llandudno will be the setting for the Rallyfest action display from midday until 4pm on Sunday where Wilson will show off his skills as he performs live for fans on a closed-off section of the West Shore, close to Dale Road.

Matthew Wilson is contesting this year’s Wales Rally GB from 11 – 14 November for the Stobart M-Sport Ford Rally Team and will pilot a Ford Focus RS WRC alongside co-driver Scott Martin.

Hi Just had to send you a note after spending a fantastic sunday afternoon with my family at llandudno . .
Having contested on three cambrian rallies in previous years (few years ago!!!)
It was no suprise to find a well and professional org event WELL DONE .
so why not have Rally GB at LLandudno you have all the ability and passion to deal with it.
the other thing i noticed was it was like a school reunion old faces i have not seen for years and great to see new/old and young rally fans together having loads of fun! You have my total backing as a north wales rally fan and competitor for your bid for Rally GB in the future once more WELL DONE.

Hi Glyn,
Glad to hear that you and your family had a great afternoon. On behalf of the North Wales Car Club we would like to thank you for your support and kind words.

As a club we are hugely passionate about motorsport and rallying. We are working hard and closely with Wales Rally GB and Conwy Borough County Council to bring Wales Rally GB back to North Wales. There are lots of positive talks at the moment , Wales Rally GB were impressed with the way the event was managed on the day and the local support from rallying fans.

Many thanks,
Simon
NWCC
