Make no mistakes here, this is one of the best overall victories by any rally team. Ever.A private team has shown a clean set of heels to the might of Citroen, Hyundai and Toyota, testimony that cash is not always the key ingredient. There is no doubt for me that driver ability plays a bigger part in these results than ever. The three M-Sport drivers last weekend delivered big time for the team and paid back with a fairy tale result that will top the rally history books for some time. So, it’s becomes our turn. The championships are run and won, but the second place in the driver’s championship remains unresolved. Tanak (Ford) and Neuville (Hyundai) now go head-to-head at next month’s Kennards Hire Rally Australia to fight out second place, and Tanak has a point to prove as he jumps to Toyota for 2018. The construction of the Destination NSW Super Special Stage is well underway and crowds will be able to see the best WRC and Aussie Championship cars up close and personal in one of the most picturesque settings of any Super Special globally. Entry is from 2pm on Friday and Saturday. Why not take the time to congratulate the teams at the Service Park? Free admission means that you can bring the family and have some fun there too. Plenty of stuff for big and little kids!
Kennards Hire Rally Australia Clerk of Course, Wayne Kenny, oversees the building of the Destination NSW Super Special Stage last week.
While all this world rally action is on, the race will be to crown our own Australian Rally Champion. Will Nathan Quinn, the sentimental local rally hero, pull it off, or will the hard charging Molly Taylor take the spoils of victory for the second year running?They both deserve it, but only one can win the championship. Expect others to upset their champagne sprays. Take the time at the Rally Show on Thursday in Coffs Harbour to get a souvenir, even a selfie with your favourite teams. No other world level sport lets you get this close to the stars! You and your mates do not want to miss the best motorsport action there is. Mates Rates end tomorrow, so save 50% and book today. Thank me later for this tip! BOOK HERE. In any event, whoever wins will deserve the accolades of our sport, the fans and the community. One thing is for certain – rallying is the winner here!
