Top class motor rallying will return to the forests of North Wales this upcoming weekend and the stage is set for a breathtaking conclusion to the Probite British Rally Championship, as the Visit Conwy Cambrian Rally [25 October] brings the 2025 season to a dramatic close on the world-famous gravel stages of North Wales.

After a season that has taken crews from the closed roads of the Scottish borders to the ultra-fast forests of Kielder forest, the fight for the coveted British title will be decided on the same legendary roads that once formed the backbone of Wales Rally GB. And the stakes couldn’t be higher.

One hundred and fifty cars will start on Llandudno promenade on Saturday morning, taking on one of the longest established motorsport events in the UK, the Cambrian Rally is celebrating its’ 70th anniversary with one of the largest and highest quality fields in recent history.

Three drivers; William Creighton, Meirion Evans, and Romet Jürgenson head to Llandudno this upcoming weekend with the championship on the line, each aiming to etch their names alongside rallying greats such as Colin McRae, Richard Burns, and Elfyn Evans on the prestigious trophy.

And it’s not just the coveted BRC crown that will be decided. The Cambrian Rally will also crown the fiercely contested Junior British Rally Championship and National Rally Title champions, ensuring plenty of champagne will be flowing on Llandudno seafront come Saturday evening.

It’s William Creighton and co-driver Liam Regan who lead the charge, after a measured performance in Ceredigion saw them extend their advantage at the top of the standings. The Michelin-backed Toyota GR Yaris Rally2 crew finished third in the BRC classification in Aberystwyth, doing exactly what they needed to keep their title bid on course.

Meirion Evans and Dale Furniss will be the local favourites, with the Pirelli-shod Castrol MEM Toyota duo determined to take the fight right to the final stage. After a dramatic weekend in Ceredigion that saw Evans slide off the road before recovering to fifth in the BRC order, the Welshman will be pushing flat-out on home soil in a last-ditch attempt to keep his title hopes alive. Only a win will do, but he would still need Creighton not to finish.

Outside of the BRC title battle, Garry Pearson returns with Hannah McKillop alongside in their M-Sport Fiesta Rally2, while Max McRae and Cammy Fair are back after their impressive podium on the Grampian earlier this season in their MRF Tyres Citroën C3 Rally2.

The Junior BRC title is also on the line, with a thrilling two-horse race between Peugeot 208 Rally4 protagonists Kyle McBride/Darragh Mullen and Joseph Kelly/Killian McArdle. McBride leads the standings and needs only a steady finish to be crowned champion, while Kelly must win and hope his rival drops out of the points to steal the title. The reward? Free entries into the 2026 British Rally Championship, which are worth over £6,000.

In the National Rally Title, it’s equally tight between Chris Richmond-Hand [Toyota Starlet] and Rob Cotton [Subaru Impreza], whose consistent performances have put him on the brink of the crown. But the Cambrian forests are notorious for biting back; one mistake could turn the tables completely.

Meanwhile, in the Open Title, newly crowned champion Sam Touzel faces a fresh challenge as he tackles gravel for the first time in his Fiesta Rally2 with Max Freeman alongside. Stephen Waugh continues to build experience in his recently acquired Fiesta R5, partnered by Carl Williamson.

Seven stages lie in wait with classics such as Brenig, Clocaenog and Alwen on the billing. The finishers will return to the seafront as darkness falls later that day, and by Saturday night in Llandudno, we’ll know who will be crowned the 2025 Probite British Rally Champions. Getting there will be anything but easy.
