Why This Category?

This category is designed for competitors who want full compliance with top-level tarmac rally safety and technical standards while experiencing the ultimate competitive thrill. It combines the precision and excitement of high-speed rallying with the reassurance of rigorous safety protocols, giving crews the confidence to push their skills and vehicles to the limit.

​

As the full competition, open-speed side of tarmac rallying becomes increasingly rare, ATR stands out as one of the last places in Australia where drivers can truly experience it. This category preserves the spirit of traditional tarmac rallying – challenging, exhilarating, and uncompromising – allowing competitors to enjoy the full intensity of the sport in a controlled and professional environment.
