NEWS@RALLYSPORTMAG.COM.AU LIGHTFORCE BACK FOR MORE IN ‘17 Lightforce, Australia’s leading manufacturer of professional lighting systems, has secured naming rights for not one, but two major motorsport events in South Australia for 2017. Lightforce Rally SA, South Australia’s round of the Australian Rally Championship, will run under the naming rights of Lightforce for the second year in a row. The event will again be run on the roads around Mount Crawford Forest on September 15-17 . In addition Lightforce have taken naming rights to one of Australia’s newest and most exciting rallies – Rally of the Heartland. The event will be known as Lightforce Rally SA - Rally of the Heartland, and will be held in South Australia’s mid north on June 2-4 . Based around Burra, Lightforce Rally SA - Rally of the Heartland will bring the South Australian Rally Championship and a range of iconic rally cars to the picturesque Flinders Ranges, the heart of Lightforce country. POSTIVE FUTURE FOR TARGA The future of Targa events in Australia is looking secure, with Targa Australia having long-term approval and funding for both Targa Tasmania and Targa High Country. The events have government approval and funding for Targa Tasmania until the 30 th anniversary event in 2021, and until 2022 for Victoria’s Targa High Country. And according to Targa Australia director, Les Smith, 90% of their corporate partners and sponsors have signed on until 2020. “Our technical regs have had a major rework and are current until the end of 2017 - previously we ran under our own technical regs endorsed by Cams and the FIA,” Smith told RallySport Magazine. “As part of our major overhaul we re-wrote our regs to include parts of the CAMS tarmac regs, so they are now consistent with the governing body, approved by CAMS and the FIA, and are future focused (including electric and hybrid powered vehicles). “Our entries are up for future events, including some new to tarmac, some new to motorsport, and some new showroom based performance vehicles in the hands of regular competitors,” Smith added. With a record number of competitors at Targa Tasmania in 2016, Smith sees a bright future for tarmac events. “As a former competitor turned boring administrator, I want a series with a future (so) that I can build/design a car that is relevant for a few years at the front, and forever at the rear. We have adjusted the regs to make this a possibility in Targa world.” STONIE CLASSICS 12 | RALLYSPORT MAGAZINE - NOVEMBER 2016
