About Rallycorp

Rallycorp Pty. Ltd. is the company that has been licensed by the Australian Motor Sports Commission (AMSC), the commercial arm of the Confederation of Australian Motorport (CAMS), to promote and develop the commercial rights of the Australian Rally Championship.

Rallycorp was formed in 1999 with the prime objective of commercialising and growing the Australian Rally Championship through:

• sponsorship
• merchandise
• internet
• television
• corporate hospitality

Rallycorp seeks to exercise its commercial rights in a manner that will:

• Enhance the image and value of the ARC
• Explore all available revenue sources, but particularly sources other than those related to existing competitors and organisers
• Create an image for the ARC which is modern, dynamic and easily recognisable
• Ensure the ARC maintains a strong and popular image for quality and safety
• Value the sponsors and other stakeholders of the ARC, the competitors and the organisers
• Achieve a high common level of event organisation and imaging
• Increase the media coverage of the ARC

In addition, Rallycorp is committed to the concept of a vibrant and successful championship that can be used as the ‘flagship’ to promote the growth of Australian rallying at all levels.
