SUPPLEMENTARY REGULATIONS - NETIER NATIONAL CAPITAL RALLY 26-28 MARCH 2021
INTRODUCTION AND WELCOME

On behalf of the Organising Team, I would like to take the opportunity to welcome you to Canberra and the 2021
Netier National Capital Rally.
The National Capital Rally has been going for 20 years and has grown from a club level event here in the ACT. This is
somewhat reflected in 2 of our major sponsors, Netier, Abode Hotels who are all homegrown companies. We would
not be able to play in the forests without them, and we thank them.
The continued support from the ACT Government and its relevant departments who make this event possible is
greatly apricated by myself and the Brindabella Motorsport Club.
This year we will be back to a 2 day format, day 1 will be the bigger of the 2 days with Sunday ending with a power
stage
The Service Park will once again be located opposite the Abode Hotel Woden, competitors will enjoy the convenience
of being located opposite the HQ hotel.
As well as the ARC we will be welcoming the NSW Rally Championship, the East Coast Classic Rally Series and the
ACT regional Rally Series.
We ask you to comply with all the COVID19 conditions, particularly in the service park and at controls, there will be
health checks and forms to complete, please treat these restrictions as a necessary evil again this year.
Once again, welcome to the Netier National Capital and I hope you have a safe and enjoyable event.

Adrian Dudok
Clerk of the Course
