This year’s Get Connected Mewla Rally takes place across 50 miles of the Epynt military ranges complex on Sunday 24th August 2025 and will host rounds of the Welsh Tarmacadam Rally, King of Epynt, Association of North West Car Club Stage Rally and Heart of England championships.

Mewla makes History with Closed Road Mileage for 2025:

Epynt Motor Club have ensured the 44th edition of the Mewla Rally will be a memorable one, as the Rally is set to be the first ever Epynt event to use Closed Public Road. This year’s competitors will tackle 6 miles of all new Closed Roads; with 48 miles of traditional ranges roads ready to test up 90 crews over the August Bank Holiday weekend.

For the second year in succession, the Rally is sponsored by Get Connected. 6 time Mewla Winner and Managing Director Damian Cole says ‘Get Connected is proud to sponsor this famous event for the second year of a three year main sponsorship agreement. With the fantastic news of a closed road section being added to the route for the first time; and a recce, the Mewla is returning to its former glory’

He added ‘On a Personal note, I’m looking forward to the event after a recent ranges win on the Dixies Challenge. I’m hoping to finally get a 7th Mewla win which has narrowly eluded me several times in recent years.’

The event offers a compact, cost-effective schedule, with Recce open from 10am on Saturday 23rd August; with Scrutineering and Documentation taking place in the afternoon; before the competitive action kicks on Sunday 24th August.

Sunday see’s crews from The Welsh Tarmac, Heart of England and North West Championships take on the local specialists and the King of Epynt contenders over 7 Stages, totalling 54 competitive miles

The Event Regulations go live on Friday 4th July with entries opening on Monday 7th July. Demand will be high, so enter early to avoid missing out on what promises to be an exciting day on Epynt for another mega Mewla.

We will be assisting Carmarthen Motor Club on the Fairfield Merlin Stages Rally.
