The Bosch Motorsport Australia Rally Championship (ARC) reaches the midway point of the season this weekend with the Accent Benchtops Rally Queensland.
Serving as the third round of the season, more than 200 competitive kilometres await the 30 ARC registered crews with 14 stages over two days.
With this year’s edition of the Rally Queensland one of the biggest in years to date, there will be plenty of opportunities for fans to keep track of the event.
Spectators
With multiple opportunities to see the cars up close or in action, spectating is free across the weekend.
The first opportunity will be during the highly anticipated Wheels on Mary – a special welcome party where all entered cars will be assembled in the heart of Gympie on Mary Street from 5:00pm AEST.
In addition to cars, teams and drivers, there will also be lots of entertainment options for locals with Mary Street to come alive on Friday night.
Throughout the weekend, there will be three spectator points for fans to see the cars in action.
On Saturday, fans will be able to attend one point during both passes of the Imbil Stage at 10:40am and again at 3:50pm AEST.
On Sunday, there is again just one stage open to fans, however the Brooyar East Spectator Point will have two viewing points during both passes – the first of which is at 8:25am and the second at 11:55am AEST.
You can find out more about the designated spectator points via the Spectator Guide.
All weekend, the KickAss Rally Village will be free and open for fans to attend where they can see the cars and drivers up close at the designated service breaks.
KickAss Rally Village will be based in the same location it was last year, which is the Gympie Showgrounds.
