Aberdare Park Road Races | Driving Economic Growth and Opportunities for Local Businesses

Aberdare Park Road Races continue to prove their value not only as one of the UK’s most iconic motorsport events, but also as a significant driver of economic activity within the local area.

According to a study conducted by Rhondda Cynon Taff Council, the event generates in excess of £250,000 for the local economy — a figure that continues to rise alongside the event’s growing popularity, increased attendance, and expanded media reach.
