WRC 9 FIA RALLY STAR DRIVERS
Like many motorkhanas, khanacrosses and autocrosses, drivers who hit a cone, made a false start or didn't hit their braking zones were given time penalties – making it harder to qualify for the next stage. The first stage saw participants undergo a one-hour session where they got one reconnaissance lap before two timed laps – the best of which saw them qualify for the next stage. In a thrilling Slalom event, Jande beat 10 other rally hopefuls in an elimination style format where each driver completed multiple runs of a course layout. It turned out to be a family affair in the Digital Queensland challenge with Kilbride’s sister Holly also securing the fastest time out of the contesting women taking part.īoth Kilbrides now join Reilly Blyth in next year’s National Finals in Melbourne, after the Canberran took out the first leg of the competition last month, with the eventual male and female winner of that event to earn a spot in the Asia-Pacific Continental Finals later next year. With each participant allowed three chances on the challenge, Kilbride’s first run was third fastest before he improved by more than 20 seconds in his second run to post the unbeatable time – the next fastest being Drew Ridge a further six seconds slower. Kilbride, who won the second Digital leg of the program, posted the fastest FIA Rally Star challenge time on the simulator playing the critically acclaimed WRC9 game during the RSEA Safety Motorsport Australia Rally Championship’s second round in Gympie.
With a special Slalom Challenge at Sydney Motorsport Park following the second running of the Digital Challenge at the Accent Benchtops Rally Queensland last month, Nickalas Jande and Ethan Kilbride both won their respective competitions to make it through to the next round.
