Rally Power Motorsport’s James Rodda and co-driver Claire Ryan have started the 2012 SA Rally Championship with a strong 2nd outright result at the inaugural Rallye Wattle Range.

The new rally ran on Friday 13th – Saturday 14th and was based out of Millicent, with stages around both Millicent and Beachport townships. Some very fast, challenging stages were used, ones that would reward commitment to pace notes, but also care in rougher sections.

After the first four stages we were 6th outright and climbing with ever improving times. In stages 3 and 4 we were a couple seconds within the leader, the car felt brilliant following the off-season upgrades. We all worked great as a team as per usual, with Steve Glenney (co-driver/mentor) and I always discussing and trying things within the cabin improving driving styles and times. Needless to say how brilliant and enthusiastic to rest of the Family/team were too.

Up and coming South Australian rally driver James Rodda has been chosen as the wild card entry in the final of the Rallyschool.com.au Australian Junior Challenge which will be a part of the Bosch ARC section of this year's Rally Australia event, the Coffs Coast Rally at Coffs Harbour on September 9 and 10.

Adealide based brothers Mitchell and Patrick Hall have teamed up once again to form a two car team for the second round of the South Australian Rally Championship (SARC), Scouts Rally South Australia.

The event which doubles as a round of the Australian Rally Championship kicks off with two Super Special Stages at the Angaston Oval on Friday 25th June and will feature the nations and the states fastest rally drivers.
