The South Australian Rally Championship has a long history.
Here is our Hall of Fame a list of our SARC Champions over the last 60 years, including the vehicles they contested the series in.
Who will be our Champions in 2023? In 2022, at round 4, two drivers went into the last round tied on points, four drivers battled over three days, often with little more than 0.1 of seconds between them stage after stage! Follow the championship battle on facebook here
