Shropshire Gears Up for Thrilling Rally Festival
19 Sep
Summary
- Shropshire hosts a major rally festival for the first time in years.
- Around 150 rally cars will gather in Shrewsbury town centre.
- Rally action takes place across south Shropshire on Sunday.
This weekend marks the return of a significant rally festival to Shropshire, an event that has not been held in the region for many years. Preparations are underway as approximately 150 rally cars are scheduled to gather in Shrewsbury town centre on Saturday.
Enthusiasts will have the opportunity to view the cars and drivers up close. Later that afternoon, the rally action will commence on the Weston Park estate, located on the Staffordshire border. While the town centre gathering is free, entry to Weston Park requires a ticket.
Sunday's events will feature five closed-road stages held twice across south Shropshire. These competitive timed trials will traverse routes varying from five to 12 miles in length. The stages are planned around Cressage, Clee Hill, The Lawley, Dorrington, and Linley, with temporary road closures in place to ensure safety.
