Welcome to The Dean Rallies

Special Stage Rally enthusiasts immediately associate The Wyedean Stages Forest Rally with The Forest of Dean. However many will be unaware of the other events that have either taken places within the enclosures, or visited the famous local stages as part of a National rally.

The route of the 1961 RAC Rally included for the first time Special Stages in forests that are now well known, but with only a short trial stage in 1960 the new format was still to be tested. The final forest stages took place in The Forest of Dean and the event was declared a success. In the following years the RAC Rally included more and more forestry mileage.

The contents of this website will offer viewers the opportunity to examine the details of events which have taken place during the last fifty years, and perhaps be surprised by how rallies have taken place.

There will be no further additions until after the 2012 Team GMF Wyedean Forest Rally.
