Classic Adelaide Car Rally
I have watched the highlights a couple of times now on the TV of the Classic Adelaide Car Rally and I must say it is so enjoyable and interesting to watch. I love watching all of the Classic Cars that have been lovingly restored and maintained – there are some absolute beauties entered into this rally. I will have to get down there one day to actually watch the rally. A big dream of mine would to eventually enter into this competition.
The Classic Adelaide Car Rally first started running in 1997 and has now been running for 13 years. It has become one of the world’s best rallies which features fantastic restored and maintained classic cars. This rally has become popular amongst contestants as all of South Australia is used for this event. It takes in iconic locations like the Barossa Valley, the Adelaide Hills and the Fleurieu Peninsula.
Plenty of spectators line up along the routes used for the rally. The rally starts in the heart of the city every day and then will travel through South Australia’s wine districts and tourism hot spots. The rally finishes up in the Adelaide CBD which then let’s the contestants relax and enjoy the city with it’s lovely restaurants and hospitality.
Classic Adelaide has around 32 special stages utilising sealed public roads that are temporarily closed for public usage. The rally covers a total distance of around 1,000 kms, including transport stages, over five days. The special stages are approximately 250 kms in length and the competing cars pass through at 30 second time intervals. The transport stage is when the competitors travel from one special stage to another and are required to obey all road rules and behave at all times as a normal road user.
