New Fiesta one-make series taking shape

The one-make Ford Fiesta rally series set to run alongside the Victorian Rally Championship (VRC) in 2017 is starting to take shape.

The series was unveiled in the September 2016 issue of RallySport Magazine - read the article HERE.

A meeting last Monday revealed a number of people keen to compete and support the series, in which Fiestas as early as 2002 are eligible for the title.

One keen to support this series in his home state is Brendan Reeves.

Reeves has agreed to become a patron of the series, and after competing in various Fiestas overseas, will be a valuable asset to the series and its competitors.

Several people and businesses have already indicated that they’d be keen to help new entrants into this series, which provides an ideal stepping-stone for a young aspiring rally driver.

Series organisers are in negotiations with the VRC as to which events will be included. It is understood that a four event series is likely.

Keep your eye out for the series’ new Facebook page in the coming weeks.

Another similar meeting for interested parties will be held before the year is out.

If you are interested in competing, or have questions about the series, please contact series organiser, John Carney, at gunnawyn@yahoo.com
