CAMS: RALLY AUSTRALIA TO REMAIN IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA IN 2006
(24 October 2005) The Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS) has announced that a move from Perth cannot occur in 2006.
"Time is simply against us," said CAMS Chief Executive Officer Dr Rob Nethercote.
"CAMS has been working hard towards finding a new home for Australia's Round of the FIA World Rally Championship and was very close to securing an agreement. However, the agreement would not have been finalised with all approvals in place prior to this year's Rally Australia and in sufficient time to confirm the date allocated by the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) which was conditional on the event being conducted on the East Coast of Australia."
"Our transition team will now work towards achieving a successful outcome and a new home for the event for 2007."
Nethercote concluded, "In the meantime we will focus our attention on this year's Telstra Rally Australia where the efforts of more than 2000 loyal and dedicated officials will ensure that Australia is once again rewarded with a first class event".
