I’m really happy I had the chance to do this Championship.” Jan Kopecký (Czech Republic) 2014 APRC Champion and 2013 European Rally Champion. In 2015 six events make-up the championship starting in New Zealand with the fast and smooth roads at Rally of Whangarei. A month later is the tropical island paradise and rough roads of New Caledonia followed by Australia’s Sunshine Coast and the International Rally of Queensland. The APRC then heads to Asia to the very hot and humid Malaysian Rally based in Johor Bahru. Japan is next and the fast forestry and public roads of Rally Hokkaido, followed by the championship finale in the bamboo forests and mountains of Zhejiang province, China. In 2015 India will host an ‘Asia Cup only’ event, with a view to having full status in the future. Registered competitors can score points for the drivers, teams and manufacturers championships in the six rounds (not including India) and must enter a minimum of five events to qualify. Alternatively if an APRC registered Team nominates to run a vehicle in all events then multiple drivers can enter one-off events with that team and score APRC drivers points.

  • KCF Month …..Get Your Entries In…
    Brisport October 2018 KCF Month …..get your entries in…. What’s in this month’s edition? • Another great read – we hope! • How about sending us a story or two! Brisport October 2018 PRESIDENTS REPORT OCTOBER 2018 Another major month has just passed for BSCC in the seemingly heavily loaded back end of the year. Just the way the cookie has crumbled this year what with weather, other events that both did happen or where meant to happen and availability of people. Which is not to say there is not still much more to come, so a big finish beckons. September of course saw the running of the biggest event in the BSCC and perhaps Queensland Rallying Calendar with the running of the SR Automotive Manumbar Rally. It was a major test of crews and cars covering the year’s longest competitive distance across some of the great roads available in South East Queensland. It was a pretty full on day starting early and finishing as the sun faded over another terrific day of hot competition. A full report follows in the magazine but I must make a special thanks to Simon and Margot Knowles, Brad Hurford (plus Kelli, Rachel & Chloe), Margaret MacKay and the extensive team who continue to put this event together. It was interesting to hear of the developing mystique around this event, drawing as it does on some of the more senior competitors and officials’ fond memories of the Gallangowan event days. But also to realise that it is ever changing and evolving with the support of the local community and lots and lots of hard work to unearth and bring on new roads and challenges.

  • Stars of the Stage
    STARS OF THE STAGE When the World Rally Championship first began in 1973, only the car manufacturers fought for a crown; it wasn’t until 1979 that the drivers were recognised with their own world title. They soon made up for lost time, however, and over the past four decades the WRC has been a constant source of drama, heroism and displays of unbelievable skill. So as the Festival celebrates 40 years of the World Rally Drivers’ Championship this weekend, we remember some of those who have fought for and won the sport’s greatest prize STORY BY ANGUS FRAZER Left: Petter Solberg and co-driver Phil Mills celebrate victory in the 2002 Rally GB. Right: Sébastien Ogier powers his Citroën to third in the 2019 Argentine Rally Rallying’s first World Champion proved that while sublime skill and dogged determination are both prerequisites for victory, ruthlessness Björn is not. Described by those who knew him as a true gentleman (and sometimes as a teddy bear), the late Björn Waldegård won the inaugural World Rally Drivers’ Championship in 1979 (prior to that, the competition had Waldegård been held for two years as an FIA ‘Cup for Drivers’, won by Sandro Munari in 1977 and Markku Alén in 1978). All through that season, Waldegård battled Hannu Mikkola, his team-mate not just at Ford in the pace-setting Escort RS but also at Mercedes-Benz. The German company had 1979 hired the duo to pilot the powerful if unwieldy 5.0-litre V8 automatic 450SLC Coupé on the Safari and Ivory Coast events.
