1 The Brakes Direct International Rally of Queensland ARC, Classics & Side by Side Supplementary Regulations

2 Welcome from Organising Committee Dear Competitor, On behalf of the Brakes Direct 2012 International Rally of Queensland, we welcome you to Queensland and the Sunshine Coast and Cooloola regions. What can you expect from IROQ 2012? Firstly, and most importantly, a naming rights sponsor - Greg Latham, long time supporter of rallying in Queensland has launched "Brakes Direct", a new business directed at online supply of brake components for all types of cars, not just ones used for competition which is the area we have come to know him best for. Thanks to Greg for stepping in and supporting the biggest rally in Australia in Secondly, you will see a number of new faces in various key roles. For our event to continue growing and being successful, it s important that new blood be encouraged to ensure fresh outlooks in event planning, strategies, technologies and marketing. The whole IROQ Team welcomes all those who have stepped up and vow to support them in every way possible. To help everyone get into the rally groove, we ve planned a return to the very popular King s Beach (at Caloundra) for our Friday night festivities. No competition here, just good oldfashioned aussie hospitality and the opportunity for spectators to rub shoulders with their rally heroes. In terms of competition you will see that that the route has remained similar to last year s popular format. However, we are planning the inclusion of at least one brand new (shire road) special stage one that has never been rallied on before, and one that promises to offer new levels of competition, spectator and corporate advantages (not to mention being in one of the most picturesque roads in the region). Another innovation for 2012 will be the inclusion of a brand new Super Special Stage located within minutes of Rally Headquarters, and which will provide a great place to showcase your skills, your car and sponsors to the general public. With all these innovations and upgrades, we believe we ll provide you with an extremely pleasant week complete with relaxation, friendly hospitality, close competition, challenging roads, and of course, the picturesque Sunshine Coast country-side. Come and say G day to IROQ 2012 Errol Bailey Event Director International Rally of Queensland 1 Brian Everitt Clerk of Course International Rally of Queensland
