With interest in the 2025 Roger Albert Clark Rally already running at record levels, the organisers have detailed the outline route for the five-day marathon across the forests of Wales, England and Scotland.

The 2025 rally from the Roger Albert Clark Rally Motor Club will be the 16th running of the event that was recently announced as ‘event of the year’ in the Royal Automobile Club Historic Motorsport Awards.

The rally will again start from the West Wales town of Carmarthen, with event documentation and scrutineering on Wednesday, November 19. Thursday and Friday will feature special stages in the Welsh forests, with Friday focusing on the classic mid-Wales stages with an evening finish.

As before, the entire rally will then relocate north to Carlisle but to allow everyone time to make the journey north the restart from Carlisle on Saturday will not be until around mid-day.

Saturday will feature an afternoon and evening leg in the western end of Kielder Forest before the rally moves into southern Scotland on Sunday, November 23. Monday will feature more stages in the central block of Kielder, including the final stage which, as in 2023, will be the longest special stage of the season covering up to 40 miles before the finishers arrive back in Carlisle.

Rally manager Colin Heppenstall said: “We have been taking a record number of enquiries about the event, and one of the most important things for teams and crews is to get hotels booked. By publishing this route outline early, we hope to give them chance to book accommodation as needed. As before, we will start up to 180 cars and we expect a huge demand for entries once we start the entry process in the early spring.”
