Clarke expected to miss rest of 2025 ARC season
EROAD Australian Rally Championship (ARC) regular Tom Clarke has withdrawn from the rest of the 2025 season to focus on the development of the WOLF Platform.
EROAD Australian Rally Championship (ARC) regular Tom Clarke has withdrawn from the rest of the 2025 season to focus on the development of the WOLF - Working OnLine Facility Platform.
Outside of being a mainstay competitor in the ARC, Clarke has played a major role in the championship’s growth over the years, having sponsored the WOLF Production Cup for many seasons and assisting with the implementation of the new event entry system in WOLF.
With the new system proving a hit in its infancy stages so far, including for ARC events, it is now reaching critical stages in its rollout as the demand for it continues to grow, thus requiring more of Clarke’s time.
As a result, Clarke will now shift his focus fully to developing the usability for WOLF, which ultimately puts his rally program on hold to make sure events get the most out of its functions
“This was a tough decision, but ultimately the right one. With a young family and several business priorities already on the go, I had to find a balance that works, both personally and professionally,” Clarke said.
“We’re certainly not stepping away from rally entirely. We plan to compete in select ARC rounds and state-level events where time permits, with a focus on strong, event-specific results. We’re also really looking forward to the bi-annual Alpine Rally of East Gippsland in November.”
“WOLF was created to give something back to the sport. We’ve already seen it make a real difference for organisers and competitors, and I’m excited to dedicate more time to growing its impact in 2025.”
“Right now, it’s about laying the groundwork for the sport’s long-term future, building WOLF into a platform that truly simplifies the process for both organisers and competitors. I believe we can play a small but meaningful role in making that happen.”
The EROAD Australian Rally Championship continues its 2025 season in Western Australia later this month with the Forest Rally taking place in Busselton and Nannup on 23–25 May.
