WRC Expands Season Closer In Australia

Officials from the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) have announced November’s season-closing fixture in Australia has added an extra day’s competition in a route shake-up for the Coffs Harbor event.

Two blasts around the town’s revamped harbor-side stage will kick-off Kennards Hire Rally Australia (November 14-17) on Thursday afternoon, with another doubleheader event 24 hours later to close Friday’s action.

The extended stage, which is under 1 mile in length (1.33km), has been revised to include a hillside loop above the harbor.

Sunday’s finale also returns north for new stages in Mount Coramba and Lower Bucca ahead of the popular Wedding Bells, which has been lengthened by nearly 2 miles (3.10km) at the start. After service in Coffs Harbor, the three tests are repeated.

A total of 25 stages will cover 201 miles (324.65km) over the weekend.
