Foreword

Port Talbot Motor Club Ltd, would like to welcome you to the:

RallyNuts Motorsport Tour of Epynt 2020

Port Talbot Motor Club is pleased to once again be invited to organise what will be the second

round of the Protyre Motorsport UK Asphalt Championship of 2020, the ‘Tour’ having been

a part of the National Asphalt Series through many permutations, and a revitalised series

that promises to return the new Championship to the very top of British rallying. We are of

course delighted to be the sole selected Epynt rally for this coming year, and to again work

with our Sponsors Rallynuts, one of the major players in the international motoring and

motorsporting retail world.

The event is included in the JD Tyres Welsh National Tarmacadam Championship, the

Promotive Engineering Group King of Epynt Challenge, the Independent Paint Supplies Rally

Challenge, and the ANWCC Stage Rally Championship, and Port Talbot Motor Club welcomes

competitors in all these worthy Championships/series to the event.

Due to an unfortunate and unknown booking of our tradition Llandovery hotel base on the

new event date the rally Documentation and Signing On will now be held within the Military

Camp at Sennybridge in the location known as ‘The Square’, by kind permission of the Military

Authorities, to whom we express our thanks. The Start and Finish will be on the MOD

Ranges, Service will be at the usual central ‘Quarry’ location on the military ranges, and the

Awards Presentation will also be held in the Service Area - that will permit Competitors and

Teams to make the journey home earlier than usual, and that we hope will assist you.

The Brecon Tourist Office advises The White House Hotel, Abercamlais Arms , Shoe makers

Arms Pentrebach, The Usk & Railway Inn, The Tanners Arms, and the Glan Usk Café as all

convenient to Sennybridge for food & drink.

The event will provide the best stages available over the legendary undulating roads that

flow over the military roads of Mynydd Epynt, with around seventy stage miles included in

the route that will include seven stages with an emphasis on longer stages.

We on the organising team welcome you, look forward to receiving your entry to the event,

and wish you an enjoyable and most importantly a safe day of motorsport, and to seeing you

all again for the Saturday 11th of April 2020, as the RALLYNUTS Tour of Epynt continues

the reputation forged since its days as a pioneering rally on these military roads way back

in the ‘sixties.
