This coming weekend is the final round of the outright WA State rally championship (WARC), round 5 of the WA State 2WD Championship and WA Clubman Rally Series.
Hosted by the Light Car Club and sponsored by Carringtons Traffic Services, the Safari rally will be 110km of tough stages through the forests of Mundaring.
The competition will start at around 1:00PM with the first car finishing in the dark at around 7:20PM. All of the rally's stages are pace noted to take maximum advantage of the tight, tree lined gravel roads.
This year's Safari will be the decider of the WARC with P-WRX member Alex Stone (Stona) and navigator Hanna Drury holding the championship lead in their GC8 WRX to fellow GC8 owner Leigh Hynes.
The service park and HQ will again be based in Chidlow, however Rally HQ will be located in the Chidlow Tavern, where the presentation ceremony will also be held after the rally.
The organisers are seeking volunteer officials, particularly for road closures.
This is the perfect opportunity to have a VIP spectator point in the Forest where you are able to get up close to the rally action. If you or someone you know would love to spend the day watching rally cars fly by, contact
