NEC Australian Rally Championship
Toyota’s Simon and Sue Evans have begun their NEC Australian Rally Championship title defence with an impressive win in the first round at Coates Rally Queensland.
The reigning champion has been in fine form since he arrived in Queensland, setting the fastest time on every one of the event’s 17 stages in the forests of the Sunshine Coast hinterland, and winning both heats of the rally.
Progress was only halted momentarily on SS16 when he slid off the road into two trees and into a ditch. However, after returning to the road Evans still managed to set the fastest time on that stage.
Simon Evans now leads the NEC Australian Rally Championship with 81 points, while Neal Bates sits in fourth with 44 points.
