The increasingly popular Rally of the Heartland will return in 2019 – with naming rights sponsor, AGL Energy continuing, and featuring wind farm stages of up to 40km in length.
These are exciting, challenging and very technical stages that provide un-paralleled competition, and are unique in Australia.
To be held on June 1 and 2, 2019, the rally will feature over 450-kilometre competitive and based in the Hallett/Burra/Mount Bryan area, and one that is quite a bit “different” to what has gone before.
Competition will run on Saturday, Saturday night and Sunday, and will be self-contained within the weekend to minimise time away from home.
The event will be open to Classic Rally Cars (C1-C4) and other Rally Cars accepted as being suitable for the event by the organisers. Only Classics will be eligible to win outright.
"We also offer other categories that will cater for a broad range of competition opportunities, and we will make it as easy as possible to enter and process the requirements of scrutineering and documentation," event director, Ivar Stanelis, said.
"We will run a very relaxed rally."
