The entry list for the Quit Forest Rally, round 3 of the Australian Rally Championship, has been released and includes 15 crews who will contest the ARC component of the event.
Series leader, Simon Evans, heads the starting list ahead of his former team-mate, Neal Bates, and younger brother, Eli. The Raymond brothers will also make the trip west and will be hoping to continue their run of podium finishes.
Dean Herridge could be a hard man to beat on home soil, and Darren Windus, also now a WA resident, will make a welcome return to the national series. Justin Dowel, after an impressive result in Canberra, will also be in contention for a podium finish.
The Quit Forest Rally gets underway in the WA town of Busselton on April 3.
