AFTER months of negotiations the Wyedean Stages will take place on Saturday, November 18.
The Forest of Dean Motor Club organised event, now in 48th year, will follow a similar format to last year, offering over 40 miles in the classic stages that rally cars have graced for over 60 years.
This year's event will be the final round of the Pirelli Welsh National championship, HRCR Stage Masters and IPS Rally Challenge and penultimate round of the MSUK English championship. Entries are now open and the 90 spaces are expected to fill very quickly.
A motor club spokesman said: "It's taken a lot of negotiations with Forestry England but finally the event has got the green light, the stages are in mint condition so we hope the entry will fill quickly.
"I think sometimes people lose sight of the vast amount of money the event brings to local businesses especially in November and how local charities benefit from car parking revenue."
