New date and venue for Shakedown

The Shakedown stage for Wales Rally GB has been moved from Margam Park, near Port Talbot, to the Barrage in Cardiff Bay and will run from 19.00 until 22.00 on Wednesday 10th November.

Shakedown was originally scheduled to run from 08.00 to 12.00 on Thursday 11th.

The change of venue and time has been made by the rally organisers in a bid to further reduce the spread of the ongoing infection of trees in Margam Forest by ‘Phytophthora ramorum’ (P. ramorum).

Fans holding a World Rally Pass or Thursday Day Pass will be granted access to Shakedown in Cardiff Bay on the Wednesday evening. Gates will open at 18:30 for a 19:00 start and Shakedown will finish at 22:00. Please note there will be no access to the site from 21:30.

There is no dedicated spectator parking in Cardiff Bay. Ticket holders should use public car parks.

Access is on foot only by the Norwegian Church in Cardiff Bay – the spectator area starts approximately 1km from the Norwegian Church. No bikes allowed.
