Dayinsure Wales Rally GB has been awarded the highest accolade by Welsh Motoring Writers, as recipient of the Tom Pryce Memorial Trophy, while Honda UK's has received the Terry Davies Automotive Award, recognising its reliance on component suppliers in Wales for production at its Swindon plant.

The team behind Dayinsure Wales Rally GB – the UK round of the FIA World Rally Championship – have produced a truly world class rally experience which has attracted significant investment and provided a real boost to the local economy.

The spectacle of top-class drivers and cars vying with each other against the backdrop of the towering mountains and dramatic coastline of Wales has created a following for it going well beyond the ranks of those already into rallying.

The Terry Davies Automotive Award 2018 recognises Honda's excellence in automotive engineering, and its investment in Swindon marked the beginning of a turnaround in the fortunes of the UK’s motor industry.

Assignments submitted looked at the future of car use, including autonomous vehicles, car sharing schemes and alternative fuels, and Jake’s work focused on self-driving car trials in the US.
