Victorian Rally Championship Round 4

 It was a break-through win for Eric Pietila and local, Mike Rebbechi, in the Mazda 323 4WD turbo. It was not only Pietila’s first VRC round win but was also the first VRC round win for a PRC car. David Greig and Paul Tirant had all but wrapped up the series and scored a great second place.
