NOTE CHANGE OF VENUES

Radnor Forest 16th-17th April

This superb venue starts the championship off with an extended course.  Frighteningly fast tracks, large drops and slippery firebreaks typify this vast site, a long time favourite of WRC drivers! 

Ellesmere, Shrops 4th-5th June

Now a championship regular this site is a mixture of fast open fields, gravel tracks and more technical woodland sections. A summer date won’t guarantee the weather, but the prospect of dry conditions will make this a very fast event.

Scotland 2nd-3rd July

An excellent and vast new site in the South West of Scotland within easy reach of the M6 provides another completely new challenge to the 2004 championship.

Driffield 10th-11th September

A classic all weather site rounds off the championship in style. Expect plenty of water and loads of "air" as the competitors leap and splash their way around this dramatic "lunar" landscape.

An all time favourite, which has seen plenty of historical battles both in rallying and in off road competition.  Sweet Lamb provides the perfect closing event.

A return to the military testing ground which provided such a spectacular finale in 2002.  Hard tracks and water splashes and some wicked yumps make this one a good choice for spectators.

The terrain is typically military, only the MOD can take a disused airfield and sculpt it into a testing and entertain off road site.  Steep hills and "knife-edges" abound as well as the hard perimeter tracks and some deep water.  Even a handful of sealed surfaces are included in the course to provide a bit of variety.  There is not much beats a blast up a runway, before heavy braking into a ninety left onto slimy chalk!

It is possible to get more than a five mile lap from the site, depending on the configuration used on the day, but there is much more to come from this versatile site!

The site is well situated close to the town of Driffield, providing lots of options for accommodation or an evening meal.  As an airfield the service area is hard standing, providing a bit of a respite from the elements and much of the course is visible from the HQ area.
