It’s that time again, Horizon Apartments Narooma Forest Rally is in the final stages of planning so now it’s my turn to find the volunteers required to run this awesome event.

This year Marty has found some new roads, we have 4 stages with 3 being repeated and we also have a new spectator point.

This event is a Round of:

East Coast Classic Rally Series 2 WD

East Coast Classic Rally Series 4 WD

NSW Clubman Rally Series

NSW Hyundai Rally Series and

the ACT Rally Series

So be prepared for some great rally action.

To make is event happen we will need the following:

8 time control officials

8 Start control officials

8 flying Finish officials

9 Stop control officials

15 manned road closures

and of course the all important Spectator Marshalls.

Once again, the time you give us is very (very) much appreciated by the organising committee and the BMSC so if you can help us please let me know as soon as possible.

Please respond by return email and cc Marty (mfholberton@gmail.com) – This will ensure that I get all  the responses if Hotmail decides to play up again!!!

Thanks again for your continued support of our events

Mitta enjoyed 60 entries last year with VRC, Masters, VCRS and including ten entries from NSW, but with the downturn in VRC entries towards the end of 2022, Mitta Organisers were willing to accept the offer to also be part of the NSWRC in 2023, and deal with an oversubscribed field if it ever occurred.

The field limit has been increased from 60 to 80, and 90 entries have been received to date from the crews listed in the attached table.

The larger field is not expected to cause issues with roads in the forest, but will require the co-operation of crews to maintain a smoothly operating service park.

Entry fees have not been received yet from some of the listed entries. Entries will not be formally accepted until a full entry fee payment has also been received. Note that early bird discount closes on Wednesday 8 February. If the entry fee is not received from any of the following crews before the close of entries on 22 February (8 pm), then that crew will be removed from the Entry List and be replaced by the next available entry on the Reserve List.

Supplementary Regulations have been released today at www.mittamountainrally.com for the opening round of the 2023 Motorsport Australia New South Wales Rally Championship and Till Hino Victorian Rally Championship.  Border Oils and Batteries are back on board again as the major event sponsor. 

The event will also include as a multi club event, the opening round of the 2023 LDV Geelong Victorian Club Rally Series.  The Mitta Masters multi-club event for classic cars and competitors also returns this year as the opening round of the East Coast Classic Rally Series. 

The Road team reports that the planned route has held up well to the wet year experienced here in Victoria. The superb views of Victorian peaks remain for co-drivers to enjoy and drivers to occasionally glance at.

The unique features of the Mitta event are all still there including the amazing service park on the golf course, modern Rally Base with excellent local catering, no repeat mountain stages, wrapped up with presentation that night in the cosy Mitta Pub.  The bus will operate from Dartmouth again.

It might pay to get online at www.mittamountainrally.com and get that entry in soon.  Discounted early bird entries close at midnight Wednesday 8 February.
