Britpart has been announced as the exciting new title sponsor of one of Britain’s most popular forest rallies, with the event set to become the Britpart Woodpecker Stages for 2026.
Taking place on Saturday 12th September, the event will once again attract some of the UK’s leading rally talent to the iconic gravel stages of mid-Wales, but this year competitors and fans alike can look forward to an exciting new partnership as Britpart joins forces with the organising team.
A globally recognised name in the automotive sector, Britpart has built a reputation as the leading independent wholesaler of parts and accessories for Land Rover vehicles, supplying customers in more than 100 countries worldwide. The company’s commitment to motorsport and grassroots competition made the Woodpecker Stages a natural fit.
The rally, organised by Sixty and Worcestershire Motor Club, has become a firm favourite on the British rally calendar thanks to its compact route, challenging stages and welcoming atmosphere. Drawing competitors from across the UK and beyond, the event consistently delivers close competition on the fast and demanding Welsh gravel roads.
The new title sponsorship marks an exciting chapter in the rally’s history and provides additional support as organisers continue to develop and enhance the event for competitors, volunteers, partners and spectators.
Event Rally Manager Alan Corns welcomed the announcement:
“We’re delighted to welcome Britpart as title sponsor of the Woodpecker Stages. It’s fantastic to have such a respected and internationally recognised automotive brand supporting the event. Their enthusiasm for rallying and commitment to the sport aligns perfectly with our vision for the rally, and we’re excited to work together to deliver another memorable edition in September.”
The Britpart Woodpecker Stages will once again feature some of Wales’ most renowned gravel stages, with further details on the route, entries and event schedule set to be announced in the coming weeks.
