The 2026 ARC Plant Hire Forest Rally builds on the success of last year’s event, with reconnaissance scheduled for Thursday 21 May before testing and shakedown on Friday 22nd May. We’ll officially kick things off with the Ceremonial Start on the Busselton Foreshore on Friday evening, before two big days of rally action based out of the scenic town of Nannup — around 260km south of Perth.
ARC and WARC crews will cover around 495km across the weekend, including nearly 190km of flat-out competition across 12 closed-road Special Stages. The Nannup Service Park will once again be the hub of activity, complete with a Rally Café running all weekend to keep everyone fuelled up.
The 2026 ARC Plant Hire Forest Rally counts towards the following:
- 2026 EROAD Australian Rally Championship
- 2026 Steelweld WA Rally Championship
- 2026 Steelweld WA 2WD Rally Championship
- 2025 Steelweld Clubman Series
