LIVE: Australian Rally Championship, Gippsland Rally SS16

There will be no second chances for EROAD Australian Rally Championship competitors at the Gippsland Rally with a return to the traditional two-day format. The Australian Rally Championship has run to a heat-based sprint format this year, with points allocated at the end of each day. However, the Gippsland Rally reverts to the old-school approach, with the results at the end of the rally all that counts. Dubbed ‘The Middle of Everywhere Gippsland Rally’, the rural Victoria event represents the fourth round of the championship. At the halfway mark of the season, New Zealand’s Hayden Paddon leads the standings with co-driver John Kennard with 256 points in their Hyundai i20 N. The Bates brothers, Lewis and Harry, sit second and third respectively in the title race on 221 and 192 points apiece – each behind the wheel of a Toyota GR Yaris.
