Sunday sees the rally head west of Canberra to the narrow, technical stages off Brindabella and Paddys River Roads, where tyre-wear across the six stages can be challenging.
Organisers say the return of some classic rally stages that haven’t been used in many years will add to the weekend excitement.
Molly said: “After getting on the podium in WA, we’re keen to repeat that ASAP and it’d be great to pass the half-way point of the season in the top three.
“With current leader Eli Evans again opting for the lightweight Skoda R5 for the second rally in a row, clearly it’s going to be a real tussle for points, so we’ll be going all-out to haul in some of his current buffer.
“In some ways, the legs in Canberra are like two separate events, so focus and planning are key components as we head into the weekend.”
In between events, Molly spoke at the recent NSW Parks and Leisure Conference, bringing the audience up to speed on Dare To Be Different, a new initiative that drives female talent in all areas of the sport.
Saturday’s Leg 1 of the Netier National Capital Rally covers nine stages across 124.15 competitive kilometres. Sunday’s Leg 2 is across six longer stages, over a total of 119.08 kilometres. The rally gets underway on Friday afternoon with a ceremonial start from 4pm, at Garema Place, in the city. The rally concludes with podium celebrations at the Service Park, at Pialligo Estate – close to Canberra Airport - from 4pm on Sunday.Buckle up it’s rally week!! 💥🙌🎉🎊🚙💨💙 -@famouscarsbikes @subaruaustralia -#subaru #subarudo #subarudomotorsport #rally #wrx #sti #domoreofthegoodstuff #mysubie #bluearmy #australianrallychampionship #allwheeldrive #leswalkdenrallying #nationalcap… https://t.co/kT46142RGr pic.twitter.com/FdUeO3z5pn
