"Our event is more about driving skill and it has some stages that are so technical they have average speeds of the top cars of under 100kph in some cases.
"This is gradually bringing better drivers to the event and a larger cross section of cars. An AE86 Corolla can podium against a 600hp TR7 V8 with the right driver, and that’s actually happened.
"At the same time the Challenge category that’s speed limited to 130kph is growing immensely, there are about 30 cars in that category alone.
"We have 32 stages this year with the longest one at 14km. The event is run over four days and we plan to work towards increasing competitive kilometres to nearly 200 for 2019 and maintain the four-day format.
"It’s a challenge to build the length out in an area so close to a capital city, and also whilst maintaining our philosophy on road choice, but we believe we can do it.
"Remember this isn’t an event run two and a half hours away from a capital city in the middle of nowhere, some stages are literally 12 minutes from downtown Adelaide.”
