Rally Permit Registration Victoria

[essay]

Hey guy's,

Can anyone with first hand experience please tell me the protocol with regard to driving under the rally permit scheme? I have been told you need written approval from CAMS to drive said car , say to the repairer to prepare for that event. Below is an excerpt from Vicroads:

Conditions of Use

1. A Rally Permit is a 12 month Unregistered Vehicle Permit (UVP) which permits the use of a vehicle for the following purposes:

during approved rallies conducted by a club affiliated with a national motorsport organisation approved by VicRoads

ie associated transport stages of an approved rally

travelling to or from an approved rally

in testing the vehicle for an approved rally (letter from CAMS permitting test is required)

for reasonable travel to and from a place of repair and for reasonable testing to confirm repair

2. That the operator of the vehicle must be the holder of a:

current National Rally Licence (or higher level competition licence) or;

a current International Rally Licence

an alternative competition licence approved by VicRoads.

3. That a log book of a type approved by VicRoads is also maintained and carried in the vehicle when in use (CAMS logbooks are the only approved type).

4. That the permit is not transferable.

My car is fully Australian compliant, was Taswegian reg, however the chap I purchased the car from wanted to send the plates in? so no way registering VICROADS therefore Rally reg the only way to go ( probably safest with regard to very occasionally driving on road (always to the mechanic, mind) and hopefully not attracting attention with the boys in blue as they will see Rally Plate and it will register to them as a rally car not a caged performance car for the streets.

If it's a genuine rally vehicle, and not just a dodgy way to drive an illegal car on the streets, then head over to BMSC to find out more. http://www.bmsc.com.au/forums/

There have been several discussions about rally rego (these are gravel cars, but the tarmac rules may be similar as far as rego goes). I know that the Vic's seem to do some weird stuff when it comes to rally cars and legislation. You're more likely to strike people who have done the hard yards over at BMSC.

Vicroad will not give a Rally plate to 'dodgey illegal car for the streets', has to have provenance.

My car is fully Australian compliant, was Taswegian reg, however the chap I purchased the car from wanted to send the plates in?

Was it fully registered or only SI?

If it was SI the rego is non transferable and the plates would have had to be handed in upon change of ownership.
