The Motorsport UK Pirelli Welsh National Rally Championship relocated a little further south to Mid Wales for the second round of its 2024 Championship. To celebrate the 50th running of the Severn Valley Stages, the event, once again sponsored by Rallynuts would offer up some 60 competitive stage miles, over and above a normal 45-mile one-day rally. It would also feature some of the finest gravel stages that Wales has to offer in the Coed Sarnau, Myherin/Tarennig and Harfren Forest complexes.
Around a month had passed since the Malcolm Wilson Rally in the Lake District had raised the curtains on the 2024 Protyres BTRDA Rally series in March. This time around the series would travel to Mid-Wales for the second round of the Championship, the Rallynuts Severn Valley Stages Rally, where world-class gravel stages would await the crews.
Organised by the Midland Manner Motor Club, the 2024 edition of the Severn Valley Stages rally would host the second round of the Motorsport UK ProBite British Rally Championship for the first time in its long-standing history.
The MRF Tyres BTRDA Rally Series arrived in Wales for the second round of its 2023 season. The Royal Welsh Showground in Builth Wells hosted the Rallynuts Stages Rally (April 15), a Midland Manner Motor Club organised event. Approximately 44 competitive miles, (27 of which were single usage) over seven stages in the Myherin, Hafren/Sweet Lamb and Coed Sarnau complexes were on offer.
Just two weeks had passed since the opening round of the Pirelli Ravenol Welsh National Rally Championship season at the Rally North Wales; where Mathew Hirst alongside Co-Driver Declan Dear dominated the rally from start to finish.
