Australian clubs and rally organising committees are starting to release their initial plans for COVID-safe service parks and events. The North Shore Sporting Car Club will run its Rally of the Bay event in early July and will follow a detailed plan to keep the public and the event's competitors safe. Service areas are likely to be limited to 'clusters' of ten cars with only driver, co-driver and two service crew allowed. A draft outline of guidelines suggests a breach of such COVID-19 rules could result in exclusion from the rally. The Western Victorian Crane Trucks Valley Stages has listed some of the restrictions as follows:
  • Only one service car and the competition car allowed
  • Only two service crew members and the competing crew
  • No crews permitted to cross into other clusters
  • All crews and service crews to wear wrist bands for cluster ID
  • No scrutineering (Waiver form to be signed)
  • No physical drivers briefing
  • No spectators
  • No onsite food vans
  • No presentation
  • No extra people
  • Crews temperature to be taken prior to the start
  • No road cards
  • Driver and co-driver only at refuel points
