1993 Healesville Stages

The Healesville Stages, organised by the VRS, was held on 13 and 14 March. It was the brainchild of Glenn Cuthbert.

Round 3 Australian Rally Championship

Round 2 Victorian Rally Championship

This was the first “full” (coefficient 10)  ARC round for 1993 and was was won by Neal Bates and Coral Taylor in their Toyota Celica GT-4.

In a somewhat strange outcome, all entrants were also eligible for VRC points. The leading Victorian crew were Graeme Wise and Helen Wylie in a Ford Sierra XR6.
