Introduction AND Welcome 1.1 Welcome from Rally Australia Dear Rally Colleague, RALLY I am delighted to welcome you once again to Kennards Hire Rally Australia, round 13 and the final round of the 2017 FIA World Rally Championship. We have seen how wild and fierce the new 2017 World Rally cars are in the other rounds and we can’t wait to see how they perform on our Australian roads. We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to Kennards Hire, Destination NSW, Coffs Harbour City Council, Forestry Corporation of NSW, Toyota Australia and our other sponsors whose excellent support helps ensure the rally keeps returning to the Coffs Coast. We have a more compact itinerary this year with new, closer stages Pilbara and Eastbank on Friday showcasing Coffs Harbour’s wild-forest roads and beautiful hinterland. Friday and Saturday afternoons welcome back by popular demand the thrilling Destina- tion NSW Super Special Stage. The Nambucca Stage, a drivers’ favourite, returns on Saturday along with the Raceway Stage, which is an accessible and popular attraction for families. On Sunday we head north once again to the forest roads for Bucca, Pilbara Reverse and the Power Stage fan favourite at Wedding Bells. Once again, we’ll wrap up the season in fun style with the WRC Gala Dinner and Awards on the night after the rally, at the Museum of Contemporary Art beside Sydney Harbour. We have been working in close cooperation with the FIA to secure our usual high standards of safety on stages. We urge all our spectators to work together with and to listen to the directions of the marshals and officials to guarantee everybody a safe and enjoyable rally. We look forward to welcoming you in November.
