The first round of the Australian Rally Championship has arrived and RallySport Magazine have their ear to the ground on all things happening before the biggest season in memory.

On this episode of the podcast, Luke and Peter Whitten discuss the treacherous Safari Rally Kenya that was run and won over the Easter weekend before they go deep into their thoughts and predictions ahead of the Rally of Canberra.

Can Harry Bates’s new GR Yaris Rally2 be fast and consistent out of the blocks, or can his brother, Lewis, use his familiarity of the AP4 car to his advantage? Will Scott Pedder return to his form of the past, and can Eddie Maguire make the step up to the top?

All is discussed ahead of a big weekend of rallying.
