Eli Evans’ brand new AP4 Mini Cooper didn’t make it to the pre-event shakedown, while Arron Windus’ rented Peugeot 208 Maxi was also not in attendance, having not arrived from Western Australia at the time of the shakedown.
The rally starts in Ballarat with a publicity start tonight, before the forest stages on Saturday and Sunday.
