Special Stage: Adrian & Jill Coppin explain their ARC vision

Motorsport News Podcast

Show Notes

The Australian Rally Championship has been through a transition period. A change in ownership was the big move in the summer offseason, and a hotly contested series so far has many eyeballs on the sport.

Luke Whitten talks to owners Adrian and Jill Coppin about where they hope to take the ARC and how they think the season has gone thus far.

We ask about how they felt about the move away from Canberra, as they highlight what impact the ARC has on how the events shape up.

The Junior Cup and the pathways into the top of the sport in Australia are also discussed in a wide-ranging interview.
