Well, hello again.

It only seems like a few weeks ago that I was writing the introduction to our 2024 event, a lot has happened in the last 12 months.

We welcome the opportunity to work with the Innate Events Group who now are the joint promotors of the ARC with Motorsport Australia. Congratulations to Adrian and Jill.

The first exciting news from us is Toyota Gazoo Racing has joined us as our naming right partner, from our point of view it shows that the event has grown from strength to strength.

As you all will remember we lost our Saturday stages due to the weather last year, so we have included them again this year without change, we have however added a short stage we call Defib as the first stage of the loop just as a heart starter. Sunday however is somewhat different, Bald Millpost is the same as last year, but the rest of the day is a totally different combination of roads as well as some new ones.

The service park will again be hosted at Exhibition Park in Canberra (EPIC) but we have secured a much better area closer to Flemington Rd, most of the area will be hard stand.

We have kept our entry fee as low as we can manage, and I trust you may be somewhat surprised at this.
We also welcome a new accommodation partner with the Pavilion on Northbourne coming on board, if you can please support them.

While you are in Canberra can I recommend 2 attractions, the hot air balloon festival concludes on Sunday, well worth keeping an eye on the sky early mornings, and the Pompeii exhibition at the National Museum, well worth a visit.

That is enough from me and I hope to see you at EPIC
