The key details for this year’s Buckby Motors Rally Tasmania have been confirmed, EROAD Australian Rally Championship crews can expect a similar format to last year.
Serving as the final round of the 2025 season, Buckby Motors Rally Tasmania will return to the North Tasmanian town of Burnie.
Scheduled to run over the first weekend of November, the event will see crews tackle more than 210 competitive kilometres over 14 stages, making it one of the biggest events on the 2025 ARC calendar.
Adding plenty of spice to the Apple Isle-based event is that is the second and final endurance round of the season – meaning there is no room for error across the weekend, with the final results determined by Sunday.
While the majority of this year’s stages are similar to last year of the event, there are some changes as there won’t be a Super Special Stage in the heart of the city this year, however the popular spectator area at the Oldina Reserve remains where large crowds are expected to attend.
The only other major change is the location of Galvanize Insurance Rally Central, with Wivenhoe Recreation Ground now the home base of the event.
Kicking off on Saturday, crews will complete the first eight stages of the event with 102 kilometres making up the distance, before tackling the final six stages of the season with 114 kilometres on the Sunday.
Before the action gets underway though, the Rally Show on Friday night will officially start off the event with the picturesque Burnie Waterfront once again playing host to the season.
Buckby Motors Rally Tasmania and ARC Championship Manager, Adrian Coppin was excited for the event to return to Burnie.
“We saw last year how successful Buckby Motors Rally Tasmania was and we’re thrilled to be able to come back to Burnie,” Coppin said.
“While the roads have proved to be quite popular amongst the competitor group, I have no doubt the Oldina Spectator Village will draw the interest of many of these locals again and with the support of the Burnie City Council our new Rally Central at Wivehoe Recreational Ground will be another popular location with fans.
“Having the same consistency of stages as previous events is also great for many of the crews as it will give them a good platform to improve on their times last year.”
Entries for the event are now open with crews able to register their place via the WOLF online services platform.
The Buckby Motors Rally Tasmania wraps up the 2025 EROAD Australian Rally Championship in the Tasmanian town of Burnie on 6–9 November.
