Michelin has won Rally Australia 17 times,

including 9 times with Finnish drivers

Volkswagen and Michelin have won the last four Rally Australias

Since 2011, Michelin runners have won every Rally Australia stage (108)

Jacques Morelli, Manager of Michelin Motorsport’s WRC

programme

“This fantastic season is about to come to a close. However, before they can tuck into the gala dinner in Sydney, the teams and crews will need to contend with Rally Australia’s challenging stages. They are especially hard on tyres because once the loose top coating has been swept aside, which can hard enough for the first drivers on the road, a highly

abrasive base becomes exposed. The high temperatures and the albeit short portions of short asphalt also contribute to high wear-rates, and Nambucca [48.89km] is the third-longest stage of the 2017 championship. All the title fights have now been settled, so everyone will be looking to conclude the year on a high note.”

RALLY AUSTRALIARally Australia was a WRC round for the first time

in 1989

The event was originally based in Perth, Western

Australia

Rally Australia has been based in New South Wales

since 2009

Rally Australia did not count towards the WRC from

2006 to 2009

Rally Australia ‘invented’ so-called WRC’s super-

specials with Perth’s Langley Park spectator stage

RALLY AUSTRALIA TRIVIA

In addition to hosting the service park, Coffs

Harbour’s soccer stadium is famous for having

been the venue where Australia beat Samoa 31-0,

a record for an international match

Rally Australia is the 2017 WRC’s second southern-

hemisphere round after Argentina

Coffs Harbour is famous for its surfing and banana

plantations

The WRC’s annual gala dinner will be held on

the Monday after the rally at the Museum of

Contemporary Art in Sydney

TEAMS / DRIVERS

Toyota Gazoo Racing has only entered two

Michelin-equipped Yaris WRCs,

for Latvala and Lappi

A fourth win for Sébastien Ogier would take him

level with Rally Australia’s current

most successful driver, Juha Kankkunen

2017 FORMATTotal distance: 947.55km, including 318.33km

divided into 21 stages
