Negotiations are already well advanced to ensure that an event will replace the NGK Rally of Melbourne in this year’s Australian Rally Championship. Australian Rally Commission Chairman Mr Colin Trinder is confident that a replacement event can be secured to maintain a six-round championship in 2008 after NGK Rally of Melbourne organisers announced the cancellation of that event on Tuesday.
