Supplementary Regulations have been released and entries are now officially open for Round 1 & 2 of the 2017 Yamaha Australian Off-Road Championship (AORC).
On the back of an incredibly successful 2016 Off-Road season, the AORC ahead of Rounds 1 & 2, is shaping up to be an amazing year that will include a competitive mix of new and old faces. With the likes of Daniel ‘Chucky’ Sanders heading over to compete in the EnduroGP, new spaces are created for brand new champions to step up.
There are big changes in the 2017 line up with a reshuffle of the pack at the pointy end of competition being, the KTM Enduro Racing team, bringing back a former AORC star, Daniel Milner and added young gun, Lyndon Snodgrass. The Active8 Yamaha Yamalube team have retained Josh Green and Beau Ralston and also added EJ Champion, Wil Reprecht.
The release of the Supp Regs and the official opening of entries, is just about the final piece to the 2017 AORC puzzle of the rounds 1 & 2 that will be run in a ‘double Enduro format’, at Bandan Gove, Dungog. All riders will need to comply as per the GCRs for an Enduro (i.e. working tail light, brake light, side stand, mirror)
Further to the Supp Regs, EJ 19 and under class do NOT require a road licence & do NOT require full bike registration as they will be riding on private property. EJ 19 and under class will be riding the Junior Enduro loop, and will still do a full enduro with time card as per the GCRs.
Please note that there WILL be unregistered vehicle permits available for Seniors who have an unregistered bike or Victorian Recreational Registered bikes.
