The Wales Rally GB will continue until at least 2018, it has been announced.

Organiser International Motor Sports confirmed it had reached agreement with the Welsh government over hosting the event for the next three years.

Wales Rally GB is the UK's round of the World Rally Championship.

This year's event is due to take place in November in north and mid Wales. It brings around £10m to the Welsh economy each year through tourism and business.
