ON?BEHALF of the Forest of Dean Motor Club, I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who made the 2012 Team GMF Wyedean Forest Rally a resounding success, possibly the toughest conditions yet in 37 years.

All the organising team officials, marshalls, rescue and safety teams, car park organisers and competitors/service crews were outstanding.

Special thanks to our sponsors Team GMF management and staff; HJ Weir Engineering and staff, Chepstow Racecourse, local police forces, local authorities, Forestry Commission and local residents along the route, for all their help and co-operation.

Congratulations to Charlie Payne and Craig Thorley on their excellent victory.

Hopefully we will see you all in 2013.

– Paul Willetts, chairman Forest of Dean Motor Club.
