If you are planning a trip to the Forest this weekend - just be aware....

An regular event that’s sure to have a massive impact on the Forest, more than 170 cars are expected to roar out of Chepstow Racecourse early on Saturday morning (February 13) for 45 miles of wheel spinning, hard racing and gritty competitive action in the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley.
