- CAMS Bulletin Issued: Club Rally Cars
The Confederation of Australian Motor Sport has undertaken a review of the Club Rally Car regulations following submissions from the rally community.
In simple terms, this will see Club Rally Car regulations revert back to permit the modifications that were eligible prior to 2017.
It was identified that a change made to the Club Rally Regulations for 2017 – for Body Shell, Bodywork and Suspension modifications – brought into question the eligibility of modifications made to both existing and soon to be constructed Club Rally Cars.
The CAMS Bulletin B17/011 now applies the eligibility of Body Shell, Bodywork and Suspension modifications in line with those permitted for Production Rally Cars (PRC) and Classic Rally Cars with immediate effect.
The CAMS Bulletin can be viewed online: HERE

The day will comprise of theory and practical exercises that are in the throes of being created by SARP and Danny Claridge. We are looking at holding the training day late in the first quarter of 2017.
- The SARC in 2017 is on the verge of securing 5 rounds. The Rally of The Heartland, to be held in SA’s Hallett/Burra area with a date set for the 17th 18th and 19th of June 2017 will be run by the team that bring us ROSA. The SEAC team are working feverishly in the South East on an event in Heywood and environs.

- Entries are currently flowing in for the 2016 Lightforce Rally SA. With a round of the ARC, SARC’s final round, Introductory Rally and the “Tag Along Tour”, it is shaping up to be a great event. Officials are sorely needed so please register and support the event: http://lightforcerallysa.com.au/register-as-a-volunteer/
- “Rally together, Stay together”
We ask that all competition crews in all levels of rallying in SA revisit the Rally Buddy System from time to time. We also ask that when competing, the crews pay particular attention to who is in front of you and who is behind you on the road and take the time to assess those vehicles safety/emergency tools “layout” so that you have a complete awareness of where everything is in case you need to render assistance.
