Rali Ceredigion Rally will be the longest and most challenging in the history of the event with 14 competitive stages over 120 miles (183 km) of roads.
The Rally has attracted world-class drivers in the past such as New Zealand's Hayden Paddon and Wales' own British Rally Champion, Osian Pryce.
Rally stages held in spectacular locations
Rali Ceredigion events will begin on Friday morning around the lanes of the Cwmerfyn area with a 'shakedown' and qualifying heats which set the order for the competition.
The official start of the Rally is the exciting two runs through Aberystwyth town centre.
The first main stage takes place on Saturday on challenging roads around Brechfa Forest in Carmarthenshire. This consists of eight stages with tests followed by the longest test of the day - a challenging but scenic route starting in Powys and continuing across Ceredigion's spectacular landscape around Llyn Brianne reservoir.
Nant y Moch is now one of the classic stages of Rali Ceredigion which is run on a narrow road around the reservoir. The evening ends with two runs around Aberystwyth town centre.
Sunday offers a double loop of two stages starting with a test in the Bethania area - a difficult countryside leg with a mixture of single and double roads. The Hafod, Devil's Bridge stage runs through a variety of landscapes, with the second run being the ERC power leg.
The weekend ends with podium celebrations back in Aberystwyth on Sunday afternoon.
Fan Zones and display areas
There is an opportunity to meet the drivers, get their autographs and take selfies at the Rally Show on Aberystwyth Promenade on Friday afternoon before the official ceremonies. This is an exciting event for the whole family with a thrilling atmosphere. There will be a variety of food stalls as well as a large screen to watch live coverage of the town stages.
