RALLY AUSTRALIA 2019

Next November, Australia will host the 14th round of Rally International Championship, the 28th
Australia Rally even though for 2020 it will not run there. The final rally of the season covers roads
that wind along the coast and through forests of New South Wales in Australia.

The 2019 season is the 47th edition of the World Rally Championship. It will begin on January 22 at
the Monte Carlo Rally and end on November 17 at the Australia Rally. The calendar consists of
fourteen events, including the Rally de Chile, which enters history for the first time. Sébastien Ogier
will be the defender of the drivers' title that returns to Citroën this season with the team he had run
for the last time in 2011. Toyota will be the defender in the constructors' championship. Whether
or not, it is expected that more than 4 million viewers attend the event exceeding the figures
obtained in 2018.

This year 4 big manufacturers Citroën, Ford, Hyundai, and Toyota are participating. In the
competition started participating 31 teams that are conformed by 31 drivers and 31 co-drives and
for the Australia round there still a stage to define the number of competitors; until Catalunya Rally
end we will not know if this number of competitors will be maintained. Australia people are
extremely proud of Rally Australia’s standing as one of the bets run WRC events over 27 years. The
new rotation policy involving Rally Australia reflects the fast-growing popularity of the FIA World
Rally Championship, Rally Australia acknowledges the incredible support that they have received
from every part of the Coffs Coast community, which has generously welcomed the WRC. The Rally
has helped generate millions of dollars in direct economic benefit and global publicity since 2009.

For the final fixture on the World Rally Championship calendar, Rally Australia requires not only the
nouse of track designers and the marketing team to deliver a world-class event, but also the backing
of a major supplier who understands the requirements of such a large-scale operation. Kennards
Hire provides the Rally Australia team with everything it needs from fencing and buildings to toilets,
scaffolding and even recommendations on course layout. Delivering the equivalent of six football
fields’ worth of equipment for a single event isn’t easy, but it’s a task that Kennards Hire is well
suited for.

This Rally Championship is a great opportunity to enjoy an out-of-the-ordinary sport where there
are disputed roads closed to traffic on various surfaces, ranging from gravel and asphalt to mud,
snow, and ice. Each rally is usually three days long and is divided from 15 to 25 sections, which
compete against the clock with an individual start. Although the competitor has certain positions on
the cart, the winner of the race is the one who finishes the race with the least accumulated time in
the timed sections. Even if it isn´t as popular as soccer people should attend it because it’s a whole
new world to watch. So, schedule in your calendar this great date for you to enjoy the championship.
