Route expected to be reduced in Australia due to fires

Le Rally of Australia 2019 must conclude the World Rally Championship next weekend, notably by validating the Manufacturers' title between Toyota et Hyundai.

But the organizers of the event are currently having to deal with fires, and could in particular reduce the route initially planned.

“Rally Australia organizers still hope to successfully complete the closing round of the World Rally Championship, officials indicate in a press release.

The rally is consulting emergency services, authorities and the local community on the developing fire situation in the area, but hopes to stage the season finale WRC on a considerably shortened route. »

Note that the national competitions, including the national rally, which were to be held alongside the event, have been canceled. The organizers should quickly provide more information on the chosen route.
