The 2026 Lazer Rally of the Bay will include a Regularity Rally – but what is it?

By Events, News, Rally of the Bay 2026

Would you like the opportunity to spend a weekend in the beautiful town of Batemans Bay on the NSW South Coast surrounded by many of the states fastest rally car drivers and their amazing cars … and driving your car on the same closed roads?

The North Shore Sporting Car Club will be running a Motorsport Australia permitted Regularity Rally as part of the 2026 Lazer Rally of the Bay on Saturday 25th July 2026.

This competition is supported by Shamrock Haulage and will be known as the RD Cup. The RD Cup presents an opportunity for people to “try” gravel rallying based on the event roadbook without requiring much more than a road registered vehicle, basic apparel, and a Motorsport Australia Speed licence (which needs to be arranged BEFORE the event!)

How does the event work?

This event is all about having the opportunity to drive on roads that are closed to the public so you can use the full width of the available road, preferably without going outside the lines.  Of course, not having all the safety equipment and car modifications that go into a full rally car, means the organisers have to manage aspects like maximum speeds.

The event sets a target time that the crew has to try and ‘match’ as closely as possible.  Differences between your time and the target time earn you ‘points’ (the winner of the RD Cup will be the crew with the lowest number of points).

5 points are allocated for each second ‘less’ than the target and 1 point for each second ‘over’.  If you are more than a minute under you will earn a “strike” – 3 strikes will mean it is time to pack up & go home.

The target times will be set to require an average speed of no more than 70km/h (some stages might have lower average speeds set), you cannot stop or drive under 20km/h, and you must not go over 110km/h.

How will we know your speed?

Every car in the Rally of the Bay has to fit a RallySafe tracking unit that, as well as letting us see where you are and respond if there are any issues, reports vehicle speed during the event.  While you would normally need to have a RallySafe fitting kit installed before the event these do have some parts that need to be attached to the outside of the car so you will be able to hire a suction cup mounting bracket/antenna/power lead if preferred.

What do you need to have?

A car – well that’s pretty obvious but it does need to have:

  • Registration of some type to allow it to drive on public roads.
  • 3rd Party Insurance.
  • A solid permanent roof structure.
  • Working lights (it will be dark by the time you finish).
  • A reasonable amount of ground clearance (you will be driving on gravel forest roads and they are not as smooth as your local road!) and there is at least one creek crossing …
  • A first aid kit as per the Rally Standing Regulations – Vehicles General (RSR-VG) section 5.3.
  • 2 seatbelt cutter/window tools; and
  • A well mounted minimum 2kg hand held extinguisher.

Licences:

  • Both members of the crew must have at least a Motorsport Australia Speed Licence.
  • The driver must have a suitable licence to drive on public roads.

Safety equipment, at a minimum:

  • A safety helmet that meets the Motorsport Australia Level B standard (AS/NZS 1698 standard and above).
  • Clothing from ankles to neck to wrists. Clothing of flammable synthetic material, such as nylon, is not acceptable.
  • Shoes with leather uppers that cover the foot. Shoes which have a leather upper but which include elasticised ankle regions are acceptable (e.g. elastic-sided work boots.)

Come see the Yvonne Martyn Memorial Motorsport Park

By Events, Khanacross, News, Yvonne Martyn Memorial Motorsport Park

Working Bee at Yvonne Martyn Memorial Motorsport Park – Come Lend a Hand!


We’re heading out to the Yvonne Martyn Memorial Motorsport Park this weekend for a Working Bee in conjunction with the Lithgow District Car Club, and I’d really like to encourage members to come along — not just to help out, but to see the venue for yourselves without any pressure to compete.

With a big 2026 season ahead, this is the perfect chance to explore the motorsport complex at your own pace, get familiar with the layout, and get a feel for the place before the events start rolling.

We’ll be kicking off from 10:00am, and you’re welcome to drop in at any time.

On the agenda for Saturday:

  • Building tyre walls
  • Looking over a couple of club cars
  • Setting up some of the khanacross tracks for March
  • General tidy‑up and prep around the venue

You don’t need to bring machinery — unless someone happens to have a bobcat handy, we’re well covered.

Most importantly, this is a relaxed, no‑pressure day. If you’ve been curious about the venue, thinking about competing, or just want to see what’s happening out at Portland, this is the ideal opportunity.

There may also be a chance for a bit of practice on Sunday, once the main jobs are done — nothing formal, just an easy way to turn a wheel and get comfortable with the space.

It would be great to see as many members as possible come out, have a look around, and be part of getting the venue ready for a big year ahead.

No Co-Driver No Problem!

By Events, News, Tarmac Rallysprint

Single Driver Entries Available for the Prospeed Racing Tarmac Sprint Series

Competitors looking to take part in the Prospeed Racing Tarmac Sprint Series do not need to worry if they do not have a co-driver available. The series offers a Single Driver (SD) class, allowing drivers to compete solo without any additional requirements.

Single Driver entries are available at the same entry price as a Driver and Co-Driver team and are fully recognised within the event. Drivers entered in the SD class are eligible for event class awards, ensuring they are still very much part of the competitive action on the day.

While the SD class does not score points toward the overall series standings, it provides an ideal opportunity for drivers who want to focus on seat time, build confidence, or simply enjoy the event without the need to organise a co-driver.

With the next event just two days away, entries are still open, making now the final chance to lock in a spot and be part of the action.
