Machinery Rali Ceredigion 2025
The JDS Machinery Rali Ceredigion has rapidly become a standout event in the FIA European Rally Championship (ERC) and Probite British Rally Championship (BRC). The 2024 edition, won by Hayden Paddon and John Kennard, was a huge success, drawing tens of thousands of rally fans and generating over £4.5 million in economic benefits for Aberystwyth and the Ceredigion region. Known for its demanding tarmac stages, the event attracts top-tier rally talent and enjoys global media coverage, with live broadcasts in partnership with WRC Promoter.
Beyond the high-speed action, Rali Ceredigion is a leader in sustainability. In 2022, it became the first UK rally to fully offset all competing vehicle emissions, running under FIA environmental management accreditation. The event continued its eco-friendly focus in 2023, offsetting 100 tCO2e and earning the Motorsport UK Environmental Sustainability Award. As it returns from September 5-7, 2025, this pioneering rally promises another thrilling edition, combining world-class motorsport with cutting-edge sustainability initiatives.

ERC POINTS
Points are awarded to the top 15 finishers in each category on the following descending scale:
| POS | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 1 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 |
| PTS | 30 | 24 | 21 | 19 | 17 | 15 | 13 | 11 | 9 | 7 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
In ERC, ERC3 and ERC4 drivers count their best seven scores from a possible eight. In Junior ERC it’s five rounds from six. The fastest five drivers on the Power Stage score points on a descending scale as follows:
| POS | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
| PTS | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
To score points in the FIA European Rally Championship for Teams, competitors must register in ERC, ERC3 or ERC4 under a team name. A maximum of three cars may be registered for the purpose of scoring Team points. A registered Team can score points with the two best placed cars of its Team in the final classification of each rally. For the purpose of calculating points, cars driven by ERC4 priority drivers will score points within their own group.
