The Middle of Everywhere Gippsland Rally in Heyfield is just under two and a half hour drive, 200 kilometres, east of Melbourne. The event is round four of the BOSCH Motorsport Australia Rally Championship and round three of the Victorian Rally Championship. On day one, the rally will enter the mountains northwest of Heyfield, between Walhalla, Toombon and Glenfalloch. On day two, the rally heads north of Briagolong and Stockdale and the teams will experience a mix of challenges on roads quite different to day one.
