RALLY fans will have the chance to celebrate Elfyn Evans’ historic World Rally Championship triumph when the newly crowned champion returns to his hometown of Dolgellau on Thursday, October 15.

The Dinas Mawddwy driver, who became the first Welsh driver to win the WRC drivers’ title, will be welcomed by supporters, friends and family at a special homecoming event in Eldon Square.

Evans is expected to arrive at around 5.45pm, driving his championship-winning Toyota GR Yaris Rally1 into the town square before taking part in an on-stage celebration. Fans will have the opportunity to hear about his remarkable title-winning season and the dramatic conclusion that secured his place in rallying history.

The free event is expected to attract large crowds as Dolgellau honours one of its most famous sporting sons following a landmark achievement for Welsh motorsport.
