2018 RALLY AUSTRALIA – NATIONAL RALLY GUIDE

Welcome from Rally Australia

Dear Competitor I’m pleased to introduce this Rally Guide for the 2018 Kennards Hire Rally Australia. The Guide reveals many changes for this year’s closing round of the FIA World Rally Championship – the 26th Australian WRC, incidentally & the CAMS Australian Rally Championship.

WRC Clerk of the Course, Wayne Kenny and his organising team, have listened to driver and fan feedback after 2017 and as a result the challenge for this year will be very different from the first day to the last.

For ARC crews, the competitive distance totals around 318 kilometres over 24 stages. Only six stages, including the Destination New South Wales Super Special Stage to be run twice on Friday and Saturday evenings and the daytime Sherwood Special Stage, have not been changed or replaced. For fans, we’ve re-located the opening Rally Show and Ceremonial Start to a beautiful area on the Coffs Harbour Waterfront, which will facilitate attendance by bigger crowds. This move also has allowed us to move the podium finish from the city centre to the spectator point on the Wedding Bells Power Stage, where we expect fans will be able to watch all the competing cars and crews drive over the podium.

We’re creating more attractions at the Destination New South Wales Super Special Stage and the service park, which has been re-named Pedders Rally Central to help fans understand that this really is the exciting hub of a WRC event.

The 2018 ARC season is proving even more thrilling than before, if that’s possible. We’re looking forward to an exciting finale and the part every crew and team will play in staging a memorable Kennards Hire Rally Australia. The organisers will be doing everything possible to make your experience as competitors rewarding, fun and hassle-free.

Finally, while the rally will be your focus, I hope you are able to take an opportunity during your visit to enjoy the magnificent Coffs Coast host region. It’s home to so many wondrous natural attractions, from rainforest to ocean, and abundant cultural experiences.

I look forward to welcoming you on 15th-18th November.
