Bates & Taylor need to be on top of their game for Sprint Auto Parts Rally SA

Rally South Australia is proud to announce a new partnership with South Australia's largest privately owned Auto Parts retailer - Sprint Auto Parts. The South Australian based company will become the naming rights sponsor for the South Australian round of the Australian Rally Championship for the 2008 and 2009 season.

The sponsorship from Sprint Auto Parts will provide stability and continuity to Rally SA, which is known to be one of the best events on the ARC calendar.

The Australian Rally Commission (ARCom) last night endorsed an additional competition to be included at round four of the Australian Rally Championship, Rally South Australia this year.

The 'State of Origin Rally Challenge' will involve teams drawn from a minimum of three states, competing for a cash prize of $3,000.

Rally South Australia Director and Clerk of Course Ivar Stanelis said he is looking forward to the injection of the new competition and said it will be a boost for the rally which is already regarded as one of the best on the ARC calendar.
