14.01.2022 We confirm the Blue Range Rally Sprint will be counted as a round of the 2020 Techworkz ACT Rally Series even with COVID-19 restrictions. We understand that a... few ACT series competitors and officials were contacted and given the bad news that they were not allowed to attend. The series will honour their intended involvement by allowing these crews and officials to score officiating points. We will be basing intended involvement on the officials and entry list as of yesterday. With only 4 rounds likely to count towards this years series we have calculated this decision as the best way to keep the spirit of the competition alive. If you have any grievances with is decision, please email [email protected]. Please bear in mind these are trying times for all of us and we are trying to be reactive to the situations and fair are the same time. ACT Series Committee

06.01.2022 BLUE RANGE RALLYSPRINT UPDATE FROM CLERK OF COURSE Hi all. Firstly, a huge thank you to all those who entered the 2020 Blue Range Rallysprint. The team and I have been overwhelmed with the support for the event and it is an indication of how keen we all are to get out in the forest and do what we all love. Having moved the event due to the bushfires earlier this year we now are faced with the challenge of the ever-changing COVID situation. ... On 14 August 2020, the NSW Health Chief Health Officer released some updated public health recommendations for community sport. Subsequently, Motorsport Australia released a statement on 18 August 2020 restricting all NSW events to club events for local participants only. The Blue Range Rally Sprint organising committee has received direction from Motorsport Australia that only driver, co-driver, service crew and officials residing in the ACT and NSW South East and Tablelands are permitted to attend the event. This region is demonstrated on the map attached. Unfortunately any person currently residing outside the ACT and NSW South East and Tablelands are not able to attend the event. Crews impacted by this change have been contacted by event organises. However the good news is the Blue Range Rallysprint will go ahead for those living in the region on 5 September. We are currently working on Further Regulations in accordance with these changes and we will make them available as soon as possible. If you have any concerns, please contact us directly. Regards, Peter Stringfellow Clerk of Course

04.01.2022 Need a rally fix??? Entries are coming in, dont miss out

03.01.2022 A HUGE effort today from LCCC members. Getting in, working on cars, an asset register completed, pavers done AND they are still working to get finished. We are so privileged to be surrounded by so many special people!!

03.01.2022 Blue Range Rallysprint keeps going from strength to strength! We have such a cracking line up, now joined by three of Canberras best known rally competitors in Neal, Harry and Lewis Bates as well as the ACT Regional Rally Series Gold & Silver cup champion Russel Winks in his refreshed Evo! We also have brand new challengers, Khanacross regulars Evan Pyne and Erin Barker. The contrast between the field really shows this is a low stress grassroots event that some of Australias best want to be apart of as well. Make sure you get your entry in now if you are planning on coming out, and with spectating up in the air helping out as an official is your only guaranteed way to get a slice of the action!

02.01.2022 Hi everyone! We understand there is a lot of concern and uncertainty following last nights announcement by Motorsport Australia and some incorrect media statements regarding whether our khanacross, rallysprint and rally events will be going ahead. At this stage all LCCC events for 2020 are scheduled to go ahead as planned. All have active permit numbers from Motorsport Australia, as well as COVID plans and relevant government approvals in place.... The LCCC and our event teams take all health and safety matters seriously and will continue to work with all involved to ensure the integrity and safety of all LCCC events. Please feel free to raise any concerns relating to these events with the LCCC Committee directly in the first instance.
