The UK’s pace-setting temporary vehicle insurance flies high in epic #Skydriver stunt promoting its title sponsorship of the UK’s round of the World Rally Championship 



Dayinsure, the UK’s leading provider of temporary vehicle insurance, has joined forces with Zip World and Slate Mountain to produce the sensational #Skydriver viral video promoting its title sponsorship of the UK’s forthcoming round of the FIA World Rally Championship – Dayinsure Wales Rally GB (4-7 October).



Filming for the mind-boggling stunt took place at the Llechwedd Slate Caverns visitor attraction – an award-winning adventure sports and heritage destination – which for the very first time will be hosting two thrilling speed tests on the Friday of this year’s motor sport event.



Located high up in Snowdonia just to the north of Blaenau Ffestiniog, the venue also is home to Zip World Titan, the largest zip zone in Europe. Without giving the game away, both Slate Mountain and Zip World feature strongly in #Skydriver.



Edited for social media audiences, the 90-second video stars Matt Edwards, the ace who’s currently leading the Prestone MSA British Rally Championship, plus a brief cameo appearance from Elfyn Evans who famously won last year’s Dayinsure Wales Rally GB to become the first, and only Welsh driver to win a round of the premier league FIA World Rally Championship.

“We offer short-term online insurance on almost all kinds of vehicles, but this was one car that we certainly wouldn’t be keen to cover!” admitted Dennis Ryan, Dayinsure’s Founder and Chairman.



“On a slightly more serious note, we are entering our third year as title sponsor for the highly-successful Wales Rally GB, and, backing this stunt has given us a brilliant opportunity to make even more people aware of the many benefits provided by the ever-increasing popularity of cost-effective temporary insurance whether cover is needed for an hour or 30 days.”



For once rally star Evans, no stranger himself to flying high in rally cars, was a just an avid spectator. “The stunt sounded absolutely crazy when I first heard about it and, believe me, it was even crazier to witness. I’m just glad it wasn’t me in the car,” he grinned after witnessing what is believed to be the first-ever feat of its kind performed anywhere on Earth.





Adult admission to the new Slate Mountain speed test is included in the Friday Day Pass priced at £28 (including fees) when purchased in advance with on the gate tickets priced at £30 subject to availability. Accompanied children aged 15 and under are admitted free to general admission areas.
