[HERO-ERA Training Academy – Green & Blue Events]
The penultimate round of the HRCR Championship joins forces with HERO-ERA for a tough and challenging event on the Welsh / English border for the first time. The traditional mix of tests and regularities will be spread over two days using some of the best roads in the area.
*This year sees the Master’s Class dropped from all HERO-ERA events having, in the opinion of the team, ran its course and will allow all crews to compete for the overall honours once again.

Event Schedule
Day 0 - Scrutineering, Documentation & Prologue - 03 October 2025
Scrutineering and documentation will take place from lunchtime on Friday at Chepstow Race Course, allowing crews plenty of time to travel and prepare for the opening evenings loop – starting and finishing at Chepstow Race course.
Day 1 - Rally Day - 04 October 2025
Re-Starting at the Race Course it will be straight into tests to see who’s awake, and then out into the maze of roads in the area for the first regularities. A welcome coffee stop breaks up the morning before more test and regularities lead to the lunch halt.
Challenging roads and varied navigation will make the day a test for both driver and co-driver and as always there’s the challenge of what the weather will do at this time of year and as always HERO a planning a few twists to finish the day meaning the finish arch will be a welcome sight for many at the Racecourse
