There is always a lot said about spectator safety on motorsport events, and in particular rallies. We need to show those that doubt us that we can manage our sport and that we are responsible and aware of our surroundings and so we are asking you for your help.
We want the 2026 Nicky Grist Stages to be a safe and enjoyable event for everyone involved. If you see someone acting irresponsibly, please ask them to think about their actions, but be calm and polite. If you are still concerned please report their behaviour to the nearest marshal.
We welcome all spectators to the designated Spectator Areas on and around the Epynt Ranges. Admission is only by purchase of a spectator programme (ALL money raised go to two local charities – Brecon Rotary Club and Tirabad Village Hall) which will be available as you enter any of the areas.
Military activity will be taking place on the Epynt Ranges throughout the rally weekend. At this sensitive time for rallying and the military, it is imperative that all of us use The Ranges sensibly and keep to the areas we have been allowed to use. Spectators being inconsiderate, driving poorly or attempting to watch the rally at points other than those that have been published could seriously affect rallying on MOD land in the future. So, at all times, please heed any requests from the marshals.
No spectating is allowed at locations other than the two officially designated spectator areas (see maps).
At these locations, trained marshals will be on hand to engage and support your safety. Please ensure you comply with their instructions. They are there to ensure the smooth running of the event, compliance with the Safety Plan and your wellbeing.
Please respect all Nicky Grist Stages rally signs and tapes. Yellow and Black is GOOD and provides an area considered to be safe for you to stand. Red and white is a NO GO area and will put you at risk from injury. Any spectators, photographers or marshals seen standing in red and white taped areas will be moved and may potentially cause the stage to be cancelled! The organisers will also cancel a stage if any spectator is found to disregard the instructions of the marshals and safety officers and continue to behave in a manner that goes against the regulations of the Nicky Grist Stages.
