The six events we have on the calendar in 2024 are a perfect mix of rallies, so it makes sense for us to keep that consistency and momentum going heading into the next season. All of us at Motorsport Australia are eagerly anticipating an exciting season and can’t wait to see the new cars and teams that will join the existing established teams in what is a thriving Championship.”
