Epynt Motor Club is preparing to run the Mini Powys Lanes Rally from Builth Wells this weekend, giving club crews a compact night-road challenge across mid-Wales.
The event is based at the Greyhound Hotel on Garth Road, with the club’s programme running from 5pm on Saturday 7 November until Sunday evening. Organisers describe a route of about 76 miles, plotted on Ordnance Survey maps 147 and 148.
A smaller rally with its own active permit
The distinction between this event and the original D.G. Jones Agri Ltd Powys Lanes Rally matters. Motorsport UK’s permit calendar records the original permit as cancelled, while the separate Mini Powys Lanes Rally is listed with active Clubman status under permit 209024.
That means crews and followers should use the Mini Powys Lanes documentation issued by Epynt Motor Club, rather than older material for the larger rally.
Local support behind the event
D.G. Jones Agri continues to support the smaller event. Epynt Motor Club says the route is pre-plotted and intended to preserve a competitive club night for crews while operating on a more modest scale.
The club has published the event timetable and final information on its official Mini Powys Lanes Rally page. This is a competition event rather than an advertised public spectator meeting, so anyone involved should follow the organiser’s instructions on access and safety.
