BORDER RANGES RALLY Mal Keough’s high-flying Audi Quattro S1 replica will be a feature of the Border Ranges Rally. (Photo: PETER WHITTEN) QUALITY FIELD FOR BORDER RANGES RALLY The theme of “Best on the Best” in the Brakes Direct Border Ranges Rally will see a return to the popular format of classics running first on the road when crews face the starter on Saturday, August 27. The rally, based in the northern New South Wales town of Kyogle, is shaping up as the rally of the year. Run as Round 4 of the MRF Tyres Queensland Rally Championship, the event is attracting entrants from both states to do battle over some of the best shire roads in the country. The Zupp Property Group Classic Rally Challenge ‘event within the event’ boasts a strong of field of Classic rally cars with confirmed starters, Jack Monkhouse/Tom Ryan in a V8 powered Opel Manta, and New Zealand’s Derek Ayson, with Cate Kelly calling the corners in a Group 4 Ford Escort. They’ll have to overcome the awesome Group B Audi Quattro of Mal Keough/Pip Bennett. This fire breathing monster will be joined by another Group B crowd favourite in the Matt Love/Josh Love Mazda RX-7, Clay Badenoch and Erin Kelly in a Group 4 Toyota RA40 Celica, and the rapid Allan 66 Photos: | RALLYSPORT Red MAGAZINE Bull Content - AUGUST Pool 2016 Griffin/Brad Smith Datsun Stanza. Included in the Classics front of field category will be the Rallytorque Escort Rally Challenge, where Ayson will be joined by the Mk 2 Escorts of Keith Fackrell Tony Best, Matt Linning/ Craig Morrison, Thomas Dermody/Eoin Moynihan, and the Mk1 of Rob and Jen Clark. Immediately following the Classics, the MRF Tyres Queensland Rally Championship, currently led by Kent Lawrence/James Wilson (Evo 8), sits only two points ahead of rival Rob Bishop/ Neil Wooley (Evo 6). Marius Swart, with Alan Stean, in the screaming VW Polo S2000 will keep them honest, but perhaps their biggest challenge may come from New South Wales speedster Peter Roberts/ Andrew Cowley (Evo 6). Roberts is no stranger to this event, and the battle for top honours on swept roads open to reconnaissance will be intense. Not far behind, the MRF Tyres Queensland Clubman Championship will be a close tussle between Shaun Dragona/Annette Dragona, Steve Allmark/Chris Miller and Peter Kahler/ Claire Buccini. Also new to this event, on the Friday evening before the start, a special Rally Forum will be held at the Kyogle Bowls Club, across the road from Rally Headquarters. Starting just after 8:00pm, the panel format will be hosted by rally legend Ed Mulligan. Current Subaru works driver, Molly Taylor, will be joined by Jack Monkhouse and Derek Ayson, where Mulligan is expected to use his special gift of extracting the “real” story behind the story – with a few laughs as well. Spectators will again be treated to the sensational Hillyards Stage, once a feature of the Australian round of the World Championship. Spectating will also be available at Toonumbar, and cars will run two stages through the Kyogle Showgrounds under lights to complete the event.

RETROSPECTIVE RED HOT QUATTRO The life and times of Dick Boardman’s Audi Quattro came to an abrupt and terrifying end in the 1991 Cooloola Classic Rally. The event was round one of the Queensland Rally Championship that year, and Boardman’s Quattro burst into flames on stage 17. Despite the best efforts of the crew and onlookers, the car burnt to the ground. Archive photos: Bob Powell AUGUST 2016 - RALLYSPORT MAGAZINE | 67
