Rally driver dies during race

October 29, 2004

A SEASONED rally driver was killed and his navigator seriously injured in a high-speed crash during the East Coast Targa Rally west of Sydney today.

The driver of a Porsche competing in the event died after he went into cardiac arrest as a result of injuries from the rollover.

The accident happened on a stretch of sealed road between Brewongle and Loxley, east of Bathurst, about 10am (AEST).

Inspector Chris Davey from Bathurst police said the vehicle lost control after passing over a narrow bridge before veering to the left and crashing into a deep creek bed.

"It veered off to the left side of the road and crashed into a ditch, landing on its roof," Insp Davey said.

Medical personnel were able to free the men, both from Victoria.

"Both occupants were released from the vehicle and unfortunately the driver of the vehicle died on scene," Insp Davey said.

The passenger was treated at the scene for suspected spinal, neck and abdominal injuries.

He was airlifted to Nepean Hospital in a serious but stable condition, a spokeswoman for the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS) said.

Insp Davey said the circumstances of the accident were being investigated and a report would be made to the coroner.

CAMS would conduct an investigation, he said.

Police and rally organisers today would not name the driver but rally director Tony Pennell said he was highly experienced and had competed in many Australian rallies.

Rally organisers stopped competition for that section of the event after the accident but continued competition for the following stages.

"Extensive rally safety procedures were implemented as a result of the incident," Mr Pennell said in a statement.

"No other competitors were at risk during the incident."

Competition will continue on the final day of the rally tomorrow.

The four-day rally is held on 198km of sealed public roads which are closed for the event.

The rally, first held in 2000, is conducted over at least 37 stages on roads in areas to the north and west of Sydney, extending into the Blue Mountains and around the towns of Lithgow, Bathurst, Oberon and Orange.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
