NSSCC Khanacross!

By News

Join other rally rookies and legends in this year’s Khanacross event being held at the Sydney Dragway service area, Sunday, May 15 at 10AM – 5PM (drivers briefing at 9:45AM).

What is Khanacross?

A Khanacross is a competition conducted on unsealed surfaces, bitumen or a combination of both and involving a series of timed tests of various layouts. Each test shall be designed to test the acceleration, braking and general manoeuvrability of the vehicle and the skill and judgement of the driver. The course for each test is marked by the appropriate use of arrows and/or direction markers. Khanacross fits in between Motorkhanas and Rallysprints, introducing higher speeds, whilst not requiring high levels of vehicle modification. Junior competitors can compete from age 12. It is recommended that juniors should have built up some experience in Motorkhanas before attempting Khanacross. More information on the NSW Motorkhana series here – http://www.motorkhana.com

V-Sport Caves Classic 2016 Breaks Rally NSW Publicity Record

By News

A recent Rally NSW Facebook post has shown the interest in Rally Motorsport is on the rise.

Helping achieve this was the V-Sport Caves Classic 2016 which, as quoted below, shows that it broke a total reach record that has been standing for two years.

 

“What a week for rallying in NSW. A full field in the Simpson Race Products Coffs Coast Rallysprint followed last weekend by a 51 Car field for round 1 of the Techworkz Development Rally series .

The V Sport Caves Classic Rally has smashed the RallyNSW Facebook page records for most engagement on a single rally. The previous best was a reach of 64,000 people on Rally of Canberra in 2014 . Numbers below are for the period 2nd march – 8th March.

Round 1 of the 2016 DRS has now a reach of 70,511 and climbing. Our videos posted have been viewed 27,123 times , with the most popular video being of Andrew Penny on SS8 having a reach of 17,200.

The majority of people reached came from Australia (42,645) , with the United States having a reach of 8,117 , UK 3,312 , NZ 3,115, Canada 1,379 and Ireland 1,194.

Interestingly Melbourne topped the Australian locations for most reach with 3,516 people engaged , followed by Sydney 2,817.”
