Australian Rally Championship: Round 4 - Rally of SA
Rally SA / Sprint Auto Parts partnership formal launch
The SPRINT AUTO PARTS and RALLY SA partnership was announced at a formal launch at Sprint Auto Parts Enfield store on Friday May 16th. Though the weather was wet and cold, about 55 people gathered to hear both Ivar Stanelis (Event Director) and Chas Calandro (Sprint Auto Parts owner/Managing Director) express their mutual belief that it will be a great partnership. Sprint Auto Parts have signed on for two years, with first option on 2 more, which is a great outcome for Rally SA, and for Rallying in SA
Neal Bates and Coral Taylor, currently leading the ARC, were on hand to autograph launch posters, and Matt Selley (2007 SARC champion with Joanna Fuller) was there as well. Both Neal and Matt were interviewed by Mark Elliston (who did a great job), and both answered a series of wide ranging questions, including comments on the event, and on the inaugral State of Origin Rally Challenge
Peter Pickering, well known and respected for many many years in SA rallying, was the lucky winner of the draw for the hot lap at media day
Rallying is widely regarded as the most exciting, dynamic and challenging form of motorsport. In rallying, both the crew and machinery are pushed to their limits, enduring the elements in the ultimate test of equipment and reliability. This spectacle has been the key to the strong and passionate following of the sport by thousands of motor sport enthusiasts.
Furthermore, business association with rallying is an effective means by which to promote strong, reliable, premier and quality products.
This year we invite companies to advertise and promote themselves through our event - so, if you are interested in sponsorship/advertising opportunities, send an email to ivar@rallysa.com.au, and we will send you a proposal document that outlines how your company can get involved.
