It was always in the back of my mind that'd I'd like to make the trip out to Bathurst. So I'm up for it.
Fortunately, I have a contact in Bathurst that helps me with accomodation. As we all know finding somewhere to stay come the V8 raceweekend is nigh on impossible. Although the weekend the Rally is on it mightn't be too difficult to find somewhere to stay. So anyone interested in staying o/night, let me know and I'll see what I can do. The house has SIX (from last count) bedrooms and is only a stone's throw from the Mt Panorama track. Does anyone know the specific location of the Rally??? |

there will be special stages on the mount panorama circuit itself..
not sure where it goes from there, but when I crewed on the bathurst round of the NSW state rally they went from starting on mt pan, out oberon/black springs way, then went back across to sunny corner for some night states, obviously a national round will probably vary a fair bit from this as it is a much larger event however.

Awesome news. Can't wait to see it perform. Love to be there for it's debut but I will actually be at Bathurst for the V8 supercars (I'm heading east in a couple of weeks for a driving holiday:eclipsee_) and my best mate is getting married at the end of October so I will have to return to the west before then.
Not to worry, coz two weeks after I get back it will be time for the final ever installment of Telstra Rally Australia (can't believe the W.A govt. is giving it up...the stupidity : ). I'll be there every day, including the practice sessions...still can't believe it...gone forever :
