Rally Australia – Final Results
Rally Australia is an automobile rally event which was held in and around Perth, Western Australia from 1988 until 2006, when that state’s tourism commission severed its collaboration with the event. The rally was part of the Asia-Pacific Rally Championship in 1988 and the World Rally Championship from 1989 to 2006. The event returned in 2009 to the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales in early September, with automobile parts supplier Repco signed on as joint sponsors of this event and the Rally New Zealand. The event is now planned to be held every second year, alternating with Rally New Zealand.
Organisers promise one of the WRC’s most compact events ever, with two of the three legs never straying more than 35km from Coffs Harbour. The 353.98km of competition, split between 22 stages, comprises 38 per cent of the route’s 930.88km.
The game is over! The engines are now stopped.
