In 2003 Gary Jones won the Barcud Rally with Dave Pitchford; Dave was killed in a road accident later in the year. In 2004, with Steve Herbert in the left hand seat, Jones repeated the result. The pair came home twenty seconds ahead of the field on the Tregaron based rally.

The first half of the rally used the lanes between Tregaron and Lampeter. The opening section was an easily cleanable run over Farmers. However Malcolm Walters/Dylan Jenkins, debuting their new Impreza, picked up a puncture here and lost over four minutes. They completed the event and were classified in 33rd place. Richard Parry/Brynmor Pierce suffered the same problem and retired.

A tighter two mile section past Pant-y-pisstyl saw everyone lose time. The fastest to ITC2 were Huw Myfyr Jones/Owen Dodd, who were just seven seconds late at the control. John Davies/Anthony Davies were next up, 11 seconds behind the Golf, but three seconds ahead of Gareth Jones/Steve Herbert.

Competitive motoring continued, although there was a Quiet section through Cellan. In trouble here were Mark Daniel/Hywel Ifans, they stalled their Escort and couldn't get it restarted. They dropped five seconds on what had been an easily cleanable section.

The cancellation of ITC4, near Pant-Glanrhyd, meant that no more penalties were collected by most crews as they reached the first Neutral at Olmarch.

A long second competitve section took competitors to Petrol at Stags Head; there were just two ITCs. The second of these, using the white through Gelligarneddau, saw everyone drop time. Only four crews dropped less a minute here. Mark Jameson/Delyth Brown were the fastest, 27 seconds quicker than Jon Stobbs/Gary Robbins, who, in turn, were just a second ahead of Selwyn Jones/Wyn Lewis. Ian Carter/Dylan Evans came in on 59 seconds. Due to time lost elsewhere, none of these crews featured in the top ten at Petrol.

Of the leading runners, Huw Myfyr Jones/Owen Dodd and Gareth Jones/Steve Herbert tied on 1m 01s at ITC6 and filled the top two places overall at the halfway halt; they were separated by 14 seconds.

Glyn Price/Iwan Jones were now in third, two seconds behind Jones/Herbert, while John Davies/Anthony Davies dropped to fourth, but only three seconds off third.

Howard Price/Dorian Evans were in seventh place, but were to retire soon afterwards as the navigator became ill. The same fate befell Dafydd Lewis/Dafydd Williams, who had been clear leaders of the Semi-Expert Class at the break. Mark Andrew/Huw Jones had retired in the first half after their Peugeot 205 lost its brakes.

The second half started just outside Llangeitho and went as far north as Rhydfelin, before finishing near Tregaron. There was one decisive ITC, this used the 'Wooden Bridge' section. This was immaterial to the leaders as Huw Myrfyr's Golf suffered a broken drive shaft before they'd even reached the first PC after Petrol.

Kevin Morgan/Deian Rees were fastest to ITC9. They had been in 22nd place at the halt, but recovered to eighth at the Finish.

Jones/Herbert were only one second behind Morgan/Rees at the critical control and, with Huw Myfyr's demise, extended what was now the lead. They were penalised one more second at the section finish, but cleaned the last two sections to finish with a 20 seconds victory margin.

Glyn Price/Iwan Jones struggled with a loose driver's seat in the second half, but managed to hold off John Davies/Anthony Davies to secure the runner up spot, the two crews being separated by five seconds. Steve Wood/Aled Jones managed to pass Delfryn Owens/Jeff James in the second half and took fourth place.

At Petrol Edryd Evans/Richard Briddon had been in eighth place in the Semi-Expert Class, but a clear run in the second half, while their rivals made errors, meant that they took the category win. Similarly Gareth Edwards/Andrew Edwards were over a minute off the Novice Class lead at the halfway halt, but came through to win the class.
