Final round of 2023 Australian Rally Championship this weekend.
Battle between the AP4 Toyota Yaris cars of Harry and Lewis Bates for the drivers title. Lewis is 23 points ahead going into the rally.
Canberra only has limited spectator viewing (probably due to the fire risk in the forest at this time of year).
12 stages. 6 on Saturday and 6 on Sunday.

Lewis Bates was 6 seconds too slow on the Power (final) stage so Harry Bates and Coral Taylor ( Molly's mum) won the Australian Rally Championship for 2023.
