Spectator Guide released for Adelaide Hills Rally

Event organisers for the upcoming Adelaide Hills Rally have released the Spectator Guide, with the guide ensuring spectators have everything they need to enjoy the fifth round of the EROAD Australian Rally Championship.

The popular South Australian event will once again take place in the heart of Mount Barker and its surrounding forests, with the addition of a Super Special Stage on the Friday night – allowing fans unrivalled access to the best rally cars and drivers around the country.

Taking place across four days over the first weekend of October, the event unofficially kicks off with the MSS Safety Rally Show and Street Party in Gawler Street, Mount Barker, before the action gets underway on Friday night with the Autobarn MMM Super Special Stage at the Mid Murray Motorplex.

Both Thursday and Friday night’s activities are open to the public, with fans able to get up close and personal with the cars and drivers at the street party before watching the crews compete side by side on the exciting Super Special Stage on Friday night.

Tickets for the Autobarn MMM Super Special Stage can be purchased for $22.49, while Spectator Stages are free for the weekend.
