Storm Darragh: Motorsport rallies cancelled due to damage

Advertisements

Storm Darragh ripped through Wales in December 2024, with heavy rainfall and winds up to 93mph (150km/h) leaving about 95,000 homes without power.

It left thousands of tonnes of windblown timber blocking forests roads and preventing access to many areas.

Dave Liddy, from NRW, said the clean-up operation will take “several months to complete” as the “whole of its woodland estate has been impacted by the storm”.

He added: “Mid and south west Wales have been particularly hard hit, and many areas remain inaccessible to NRW forestry teams, we have therefore taken the decision to cancel the March and April events.

“Even roads which are passable pose a health and safety risk to both rally participants and spectators alike.”
