The partnership will see Coppin continue his role and oversee the delivery of the Bosch Motorsport Australia Rally Championship, which recently confirmed its 2025 calendar of six events.
Coppin will continue in the role of event manager for the remainder of the 2024 season, with this weekend’s Adelaide Hills Rally and November’s series finale, the Buckby Motors Rally Tasmania.
The new partnership structure will take effect from 2025, as all six of this year’s event organisers have recommitted their involvement.
“With next year’s calendar locked away and what’s set to be a fantastic final two rounds in 2024, I’m thrilled to be confirming my ongoing involvement with the ARC,” Coppin said.
“The growth we’ve seen the Championship over the last few years, along with positive feedback from competitors demonstrates the potential for rallying in Australia.
“It’s great to be able to give competitors and stakeholders continuity going forward, and I look forward to formalising the new joint venture with Motorsport Australia and continuing to deliver outstanding events and growth, into next year.”
