With less than a week to go before Wales Rally GB returns to Cardiff, Paul Tod Rallying has joined Cardiff Council, Fiat Auto UK and St David’s Shopping Centre to give shoppers a close up view of the Fiat Stilo Abarth rally car which makes its World Rally Championship (WRC) debut on this event.

The PT Rallying Stilo will occupy its prime position in the heart of the prestigious Shopping Centre from Monday 6th until Sunday 12th September before moving on to the Cardiff Super Special arena where it will be the main attraction at the Fiat Auto stand during the event.

The MII / Haywood Demolition Stilo has already been in promotional action with Paul and fellow Stilo Cup regular Sean Woffinden joining the Fiat team at their pre-event media launch, giving first hand experience of the Fiat Stilo Abarth to media and guests alike. 

“We have taken every opportunity to promote the car this year,” reports Tod. “It’s a lovely looking rally car, a real eye-catcher, and certainly proved a draw at the recent Royal Welsh Show – I’d imagine it will be swamped in St David’s Centre!

“With Fiat UK’s team entry on the Wales Rally GB, and Scottish privateer, Willie Bonniwell also competing, there will be four Stilo’s starting the rally, and we are proud to be a part of the car’s first WRC event. Unfortunately, we are rallying in Mid Wales on the weekend of the Wales GB, but with two Welsh drivers amongst the four crews, we will be watching the results closely!”

Paul’s next event is the Sweet Lamb Stages on September 19th, the Sunday of the Wales Rally GB.  He will be driving a Subaru Impreza, supplied as part of his prize for winning the Peugeot 205 Challenge in 2003.
