Hi
everyone,
I received this email on
Friday and was awaiting the formal announcemnts before forwarding it
on.
The first one below is from
Adrian Dudock, the chief NatCat Rally organiser & Clerk of Course. The
following section is from Ellie Yates, the NatCap publicity person. Note that
the Canberra Times article on the link has a few errors, where they say "NCR"
they normally mean "APRC" as of course the actual National Capital Rally has
been running for many many years in one guise or another.
It's too early to be taking
'expressions of interest' but at least there is a date that we can pencil in on
next years calendar !
Please feel free to post on
Social Media, etc, if you are so inclined.
Cheers,
...Phil Longworth

Morning
all.
I can finally communicate with you about next year's
event.
After the club's (BMSC) decision after this year's event to not
continue with the APRC we were going to run a really great ARC, the date we
ended up
with was the weekend after the Bathurst 1000 in October, not
ideal but we were on the calendar.
For 2018 there are 3 events
that want to be considered for ARC status so we at least kept our
date.
We brokered a deal with Netier to be the naming right
sponsors, but we lost the Doma group through no fault of the
event.
We are working on a new accommodation partners as we
speak.
The last ten days have been interesting to say the least,
CAMS approached me with an offer of getting the APRC back in
Canberra,
after much negotiation and soul searching we came to an
agreement so,
The "Netier National Capital Rally" will be an APRC
round and run on the 1 - 3 June 2018, we should be super proud that the
powers that be
felt us worth supporting to bring the event back
here.
An official announcement will be made by CAMS and Netier over
the weekend and from there we are all go.
Adrian
