Australia to Host 2013 World Rally Event

Organisers of Rally Australia have agreed a deal with the Federation Internationale del’Automobile (FIA) to hold a round of the FIA World Rally in 2013.

The date has not been set for the event, medicine which will be one of 13 in the 2013 World Rally Championship (WRC) schedule.

Rally Australia chairman Ben Rainsford said the contract had been forwarded to senior management at the FIA for presentation.

Further discussions with the FIA would focus on an annual event and the specific dates.

“We’re delighted to have a place on the 2013 calendar, but there is still plenty of work ahead before we can formally confirm the date and logistics for the event,” said Rally Australia chairman, Ben Rainsford.{jcomments on}
