Article 1. Introduction / Welcome

Welcome to the 2018 Netier National Capital Rally, Round 2 of the FIA Asia Pacific Rally Championship,

Round 3 of the CAMS Australian Rally Championship® and Round 2 of the Techworkz Automotive ACT Regional Rally Series.

The 2018 Netier National Capital Rally will be conducted under the FIA Regional Rally Sporting Regulations. These regulations are available on the FIA Website: http://www.fia.com/regulation/category/117

Events of this magnitude cannot happen without the tireless work and assistance of key stakeholders and I would personally like to thank all officials for their efforts in the lead up and during the event. A special mention must go to the team at the Brindabella Motor Sport Club for their incredible support for this event.

We acknowledge the support of Mantra Hotels as our accommodation partner and Rally HQ and Pialligo Estate for the location of the Service Park.

The Netier National Capital Rally has been designed with the competitor in mind utilising some of the best roads Canberra has to offer. The event has been set to be as compact as possible for the benefits of both crews, teams, media and other stakeholders.

We are pleased to have the Asia-Pacific Rally Championship continue to be held in the Canberra region. Local businesses, such as Pialligo Estate are supporting the event to showcase the quality wine and produce the region has to offer.

We look forward to receiving your entry for one of the most exciting and dynamic events of the year. The city of Canberra awaits you.

Yours sincerely

Michael Wallace
