Nine releases Rally Australia broadcast times

The Nine Network has released the broadcast schedule for its free-to-air package of the Kennards Hire Rally Australia at Coffs Harbour this weekend.

A mix of fresh stages have been added to the event that has moved to the final round of the World Rally Championship from its previously traditional September date.

Nine will offer highlights packages on both Friday and Saturday while a two-hour live broadcast of the dramatic final day on Sunday will be scheduled from midday (AEDT).

While it will be the 25th running of the WRC round in Australia, it will also signify the fifth time the rally has been held at the popular Coffs Coast location.

With the driver’s championship already in the bag for Volkswagen’s Sebastien Ogier and co-driver Julien Ingrassia the race for second in the standings remains wide open.

Hyundai’s Thierry Neuville currently holds second however Andreas Mikkelsen (Volkswagen), and Hyundai’s Hayden Paddon and Dani Sordo all remain in contention for the runner-up spot.
