“This four round calendar will give competitors a chance to compete in a number of events and will mean the Championship will not be overly compromised, despite the delayed start to the year.“We are also mindful of the logistics around travel and the closeness of events compared to what we see in a ‘normal’ year. Given this, rallies may be shorter in time and distance than in previous years to enable competitors, teams, officials, suppliers and organisers to attend. "Most importantly for those volunteering their time as officials to make these events happen, we want to make sure they can get back to work as soon as possible. “I’d like to thank the ARC’s sponsors - our naming rights partner RSEA Safety and Hire, as well as our official tyre supplier, Hoosier Tire Australia. Their ongoing support through what has been a very challenging and unusual time for motorsport has been very reassuring. “We know a September start date is realistic at the current time, however, if for whatever reason the COVID-19 situation changes or restrictions do not allow us to compete, we are obviously prepared to make further changes should they be needed to ensure everyone’s safety.”
