The Chirk Castle stage in 2013 had beautiful vistas for the drivers navigating their way around the grounds of the 14th century attraction.

Wales Rally GB managing director Ben Taylor said: "The 700-year-old fortifications not only provide a stunning backdrop to the high-speed action but also underline the event's 'Rally of Legends' title."

Amongst the top nine most stunning backdrops in the world are Guanajuato streets in Rally Mexico, vineyards in Germany and the famous Casino Square in Monte Carlo.

Chirk Castle also hosts Rallyfest.
