Rally Australia

Motorsport Information

PocketFacts

Flying Finns Down Under:

Half of the Rally Australia

events – 12 of 24 – were

won by Finnish drivers.

Juha Kankkunen is the most

successful driver there with

four victories to his name,

followed by Mikko “Mr Aus-

tralia” Hirvonen who won the

rally three times.

2016 Rally Aus-tralia is scheduled two months and one week – or more precisely: 68 days – later than previous year’s edition and marks the final round of the season for the first time since 2005.

Rally Australia Statistics

The old and new champions* Sébastien Ogier and

Julien Ingrassia won the 2015 Rally Australia to

secure their third drivers’ and co-drivers’ title in

a row back then. The triumph Down Under also

saw Volkswagen wrap up a third back-to-back

Manufacturers’ Championship. And, by the way, it was Ogier’s third

consecutive Rally Australia victory.

On his way back to the service park on 2015 Rally Australia’s Thursday evening,

the local police had pulled Andreas Mikkelsen over for an alcohol test in the Polo R WRC. Mikkelsen passed the test – the limit in Australia is 0.01 per mill by the way – without further objection. “I was just below the limit,” he said, with a wink.

Volkswagen Motorsport Director Sven Smeets has already won the Rally Australia: in 2005, as François Duval’s co-driver in a Citroën.

Short and spectator friendly: Australia’s Raleigh Raceway hosts a Super Special Stage,

1.37 kilometres in length, on Friday and Saturday morning.

* Subject to the official publication of the results by the FIA.

Rally Australia Facts and figures

The eventFirst held in 1988, the Rally Australia was part of the Asia-Pacific

Rally Championship and from 1989 to 2006 of the FIA World

Rally Championship. In 2009 the event returned to the WRC

calendar and was held in the region around Kingscliff – before

moving to Coffs Harbour half way between Sydney and Brisbane

from 2011.

The venueThe character of the Rally Australia stages change from expan-

sive, flowing high-speed gravel passages on open terrain to

narrow, winding gravel sections through thick forest and short

Super Special Stages with mainly tarmac surface.

The typical weatherThe climate at the Coffs Coast is oceanic with warm summers

and mild winters. It is influenced by the warm waters of the

Tasman Sea which provide moisture to increase rainfall and

usually keep the region free from extremes of temperature.

Speed limitThe maximum speed limit in cities and towns varies between 40

and 60 km/h. On country roads and main highways the maximum

speed limits are typically 100 or 110 kmh, as signposted.
