BAW BAW UPDATE

No time for Targa? Just want to keep on rallying? Perhaps you are looking for an affordable new fix for the rally blues during the mid-year rally down time?

Well…. In less than two months, a brand new rally held in your own backyard will stake its place on the tarmac rally calendar.

The inaugural Mt Baw Baw Sprint is a multi-stage rally run across the weekend of April 30 and May 1, and promises some fantastic features no other can currently match.

The 16 stage rally runs over three different roads for nearly 200 competitive kilometres, yet the compact nature and design of the rally means the liaison between stages totals just 120km.

The rally will also be split into a field of two, with half the competitors tackling the summit road to the Baw Baw peak, while the rest compete on the surrounding mountain roads. Meeting up for lunch to tell tall tales, the groups will then swap.

What does it mean for you? It means more racing and less hurry-up-and-waiting! And all for the bargain entry price of just $1950.

Competitors will climb the winding 15.50km access road to the summit of Mt Baw Baw for eight runs over the course of the weekend. There are an additional eight sections of tarmac to run that surround the alpine summit.

The competition is open to both Modern and Classic cars, with a hero award for the fastest run up the Baw Baw road.

No rollcage? No problem. Enter the Touring category for just $350 and be a part of the action or whet your rally whistle without the expense of building and running a fully prepped rally vehicle.

The mountain is only 90 minutes drive from Melbourne, making it the Victorian capital’s most accessible ski mountain – with the steepest driveway.

The fantastic facilities and on-site accommodation at Mt Baw Baw will suit all tastes and budgets, and the Sprint Bar, open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, will ensure the rally is a real social event in itself.

Speaking of which - there are plenty of Targa tarmac comrades already signed up to the Sprint, which is scheduled three weeks after the Tasmanian rally. Mountain Motorsports can cater for returning competitors with storage for rally cars in Melbourne.

Don’t miss the opportunity to be a part of this brand new event on the tarmac rally calendar. Complete and return the attached 2011 MT BAW BAW SPRINT EXPRESSION OF INTEREST FORM.

sounds like a good event. anyone done any of the stages they run? possibly not since they are claiming 'brand new event'. still I imagine there are some good pieces of road up there.

      My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.

      I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.

      I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended

      I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
