Rally Australia only a month away
July 30, 2009 by Alborz Fallah
For those of you who are not aware, Round 10 of the 2009 FIA World Rally Championship is scheduled to run on 3-6 September, in the east coast of Australia.
The Repco Rally Australia as it’s officially titled, includes closed-road competition stages through Tweed and Kyogle Shires in Northern New South Wales with a rally car service park at Kingscliff and operations headquarters at SALT Resort.
With the Australian leg of the Formula One season well and truly over , the reintroduction of a WRC stage in Australia is a blessing.
The World Rally Championship has always been one of our favourite motorsports here at CarAdvice, competing only with F1 in terms of driver skill and excitement.
To put the sport in perspective, last year more than 816 million people in 180 countries watched the World Rally with around 51 million viewers per round.
Thankfully tickets for the Australian Rally event are significantly cheaper than those for the F1 race at Melbourne’s Albert Park.
The super pass which grants access to all areas for the three-day event costs only $99 ($59 concession). If you can only stay for one day or just want to see the special stages, tickets are available for that too.
You can have a look at the ticket pricing for the event here.
If you’re free that weekend in September and have never been to a rally, from all of us at CarAdvice we strongly suggest you make your way out there as it will be an event to remember.
CarAdvice will be covering the event live so you may even run in to one of us!

What!
How did i not know this is coming!! who is the doing the promotion cause they need to do a lot more. This is the first I’ve heard of it and I’m a motorsport fan.
Going to get a family pass and take the kids. Thx for the heads up.
Mark McGowan should be shot.
Will Chris Atkinson be there?
“With the Formula 1 season being a little disappointing this year, the reintroduction of a WRC stage in Australia is a blessing.”
Disappointing?! Are you kidding? It’s been one of the best and most unpredictable seasons in years! I’ve enjoyed it more than any other season in recent memory because there is no clear favourite and the championship is still anybody’s. In my view, that’s the opposite of disappointing…
They are also having the Speed On The Tweed on Sunday. What a weekend. Glad I live only an hour away. I agree with Mr405, the promotion has been a bit lax. I come from WA and all you heard leading up to the event was Rally Aust.
:o !
how do i enter!?
will they give me a car to drive!?
F1 has been dissapointing?? WTF are you even watching it! for a start we have an Aussie in second in the championship with a realistic chance of fighting it out with Button, and your saying its dissapointing!!! WTFBBQPANDA!@!!!11
By the way I’ll be at Rally Aus, wouldn’t miss it
I would kill to go, but tickets and transportation not good for me. Sigh!
Now here is some decent racing to go watch in Australa, I would never, ever consider going to the crap they call V8 supercars.
Why Charles? Why do you need to try and hi-jack this thread? Like a one track bloody record… Get a life!
I`m not hijacking anything Richo, I`m not sure any one person could do that. I can`t help it if i think Falcons and Commodores are rubbish, I mean we all have opinions and thats mine.
I have opinions too, for example I think Anna Bligh is a hopeless Premier of Queensland, but I don’t bring it up in threads that have NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!
again, get a life
