RALLY: 55th Network Q Rally of Great Britain Entry List

21 November 1999

Posted By Terry Callahan
Motorsports Editor, The Auto Channel
The Network Q Rally of Great Britain starts this Sunday with a day of short special stages designed to entertain spectators. The 'real' rallying begins on Monday where the action extends onto the smooth gravel roads of central Wales for a series of stages, some repeated, based around the market town of Builth Wells. The final day features stages in the mountains high above the south Wales valleys close to Cardiff, recently announced as the base for next year's rally. The rally covers a total of 1156.70 miles (1861,47 kilometres), including 239.20 miles (384,94 kms) on 22 timed special stages.
