RHAYADER will provide the backdrop to part of the JDS Machinery Rali Ceredigion on Saturday.
Thousands of rally fans are expected to descend on Aberystwyth for the popular event this weekend.
The route will also take in Rhayader with several spectator areas.
The stage starts at Cwmystwyth and ended downhill on the old Aberystwyth Road opposite Glan Llyn lake.

Once the competitors finish the stage they will head towards Rhayader Town Football Club for refuelling at 10.35am and 3.35pm.
After making its way into the hearts of the British Rally Championship crews in 2022, the Aberystwyth-based closed-road event is likely to be a tougher proposition this time around, with an extended offering of just over 100 miles of competitive action, spread across two, long days.
With eyes on inclusion in the FIA European Rally Championship in the future, the popular event retains its fan favourite Aberystwyth street stage, complete with M-Sport’s impressive Ford Puma Rally1 carrying out demonstration runs on Saturday.
