17-29 June 2016 2016 International Rally of Queensland Message from the Clerk of Course Welcome to the 2016 International Rally of Queensland, Round 3 of the 2016 FIA Asia Pacific Rally Championship. Conducted between 17 to 19 June 2016, this event (or IROQ as known to many) also comprises Round 3 of the 2016 Kumho Tyre Australian Rally Championship®, incorporating the 2016 Australian Rally Manufacturers’ Championship, 2016 Australian 2WD Rally Championship, 2016 Australian 2WD Classic Rally Challenge, 2016 Australian 4WD Classic Rally Challenge, and includes Round 3 of the MRF Tyres Queensland Rally Championship and Queensland Clubman Series. Once again the spectacular Sunshine Coast with its beautiful beaches and picturesque hinterland provides the backdrop to IROQ with Rally Headquarters located this year at a new venue closer to the rally area, close to the Maroochydore town centre and within 5km of the Sunshine Coast Airport. Along with the change in HQ venue, the Friday night’s Ceremonial Start will also have a brand new location right on the shores of the Maroochy River and adjacent to the Maroochydore business and shopping hubs. This high-profile location will provide an excellent chance to showcase the cars, crews and the event to our VIP’s and the public, with a range of activities planned to keep everyone entertained. Our Team hopes to continue building on the relationships and successes of previous IROQ events. To this end, the competition route this year will see crews tackling some old stage “favourites” from previous years and cover around 240km of some of the most technical and challenging drivers’ stages in the Championship. On behalf of the IROQ Organising Team, the Sunshine Coast region and its friendly inhabitants, we look forward to welcoming you to one of the best holiday destinations in Qld and hosting you and your team for one of the “must-do” sporting events on the APRC circuit.
