The Castrol International Rally, organised by the Southern Districts Motor Sports Association, was conducted on March 31 and April 1 in the forests around Canberra.
Carr by a proverbial country mile!
The only significant international entry was top New Zealander, Blair Robson, but on his first visit to the forests of Canberra he could only manage fifth. It was Greg Carr who was dominant, taking his fifth win by more than eight minutes from teammate, Colin Bond, both in RS1800s. Geoff Portman was a further five minutes back then nine more minutes to Ed Mulligan, both in Datsun 1600s.
