The 2026 WA Rally Championship calendar has been released, delivering a six-round season that brings together iconic Western Australian rally stages and a refreshed, well-balanced itinerary designed to challenge crews across the state’s south-west.
The championship begins on 11 April with the Brunswick Rally, set in the Brunswick Plantation between Wokalup and Collie, before heading further south for one of the highlights of the national rally calendar. The Forest Rally returns to Nannup as Round 2 from 22–24 May, once again hosting the Australian Rally Championship and showcasing WA rallying on the national stage.
The mid-season sees competition intensify with the return of a cold Experts Cup in Collie on 20 June, based around the Wellington Dam, followed by the Karri Rally in Manjimup on 24–25 July, a long-standing favourite renowned for its demanding forestry stages. The Safari in Grimwade returns to Donnybrook on 29 August, marking a milestone year for the Safari Rally and setting the scene for a decisive run toward the championship conclusion. The season wraps up on 17 October with the Warren River Rally in Pemberton, where championships will be decided among some of WA’s most picturesque roads through the Karri forests.
The delivery of the 2026 calendar reflects the continued efforts of the WA Car Club and the Light Car Club of WA, supported by a dedicated volunteer base that underpins every event. Those interested in becoming an official and contributing to the running of these rallies are encouraged to register via the Officials page on the RallyWA website.
The 2026 WA Rally Championship promises another strong season of competition. Whether as a competitor, volunteer, sponsor, or spectator, now is the time to lock in the dates and be part of the journey.
