Just want to say a huge thanks to those who organised the World Rally Champion’s homecoming today in & around Dolgellau, it was simply excellent.

Credit to Elfyn for being so patient with everyone. He literally went to the very last fan who didn’t get an opportunity for a signature, photo etc despite the weather. He & his family come across as perfect role models: Humble, authentic & grateful.

It was also really nice to attend an event where I didn’t encounter any imbeciles. It was so comforting to just relax & enjoy the atmosphere.

Let’s hope Rally Wales is back on the menu in 2030, and more fans & rally teams start attending the likes of Rali Ceredigion, Cambrian Rally and so on.

I think some of our nation take rallying for granted here. Wales is one of the best rally venues in the world, probably second to Finland. We should embrace it in our culture & show off our scenery, using the sport to promote tourism worldwide. The BBC will be broadcasting WRC next year, so S4C don’t have to do all the hard work.

I’m sure anyone else who attended the homecoming enjoyed themselves.
