We would like to invite you to our Victorian mid-year ERCA dinner on Thursday 24th of July. All members and friends of the club are welcome, including those from interstate if you would like to make the trip. We will be booking a suitable inner Melbourne venue (probably a pub) with a fun and casual atmosphere. The venue will depend on numbers so please let us know if you can attend ASAP by emailing admin@erca.com.au so we can finalise our booking.
 

23 August - 15 September 2026

Another Aussie outback rally adventure is happening in 2026. Leaving from the Barossa Valley in South Australia, we will cover around 7,500kms to the very tip on Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory before finishing in Darwin. It promises to be an awesome experience so don't miss out.

Places are limited! 

20 August - 7 September 2024

Our epic ERCA Cape York Adventure  was a huge success with 14 crews tackling over 6,000 kms of outback Australia. Read our rally report by clicking the link below. 

Our Perth to Sydney Classic has been completed and was acclaimed by all as a great success. The route took us through southwest of WA, across the Nullabor, through the Flinders Ranges in SA, along Victoria's Great Ocean Road, and via the high country of Victoria and NSW for a triumphant finish in Sydney.

27 March - 2 April 2022

The COT is on again and the regularity competition has been revamped to be bigger and better than ever. This year the COT is based in central NSW and visits Parkes, Orange, and Bathurst. If you are hungry for some great rallying after too many lockdowns then the COT is the ideal event for you! 

The Perth to Sydney Classic has been rescheduled to late 2022. The route has been slightly revamped and will take the participants from Perth, South through Margret River, across the Nullabor, into the flinders ranges, through the Barossa Valley, along the Great Ocean Road, through Victorian and NSW high country, before finally finishing 20 days later in Sydney. It's promises to be a fantastic event!  

29 November - 3 December 2021

A great drive around some of Victoria's scenic regions including Gippsland, The Yarra Valley, and Queenscliff. All these areas are also well known for great food and wine, so this 5-day run looks like being a lot of ffun. 

It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to the patron of our club, and one of the great characters of endurance rallying, Gerry Crown. Gerry passed away in mid-March after a short illness. Our deepest sympathies to Lynn and family. The endurance rally community will always remember you.

• Classic Outback Trial: 22 - 28 August

• The ERCA Pert to Sydney Classic: 20 October - 8 November

13 - 14 February 2021

ERCA member Harry Hickling has put together a great overnight weekend run for our Victorian Members. The route is through the historic areas of the Goldfields and offers some great driving, no highway sections at all, some good dirt sections, hill climbs, and plenty of scenic open roads. 

9 - 13 March 2021

Because the COT has been rescheduled, Michael and Anne Wilkinson have put together an alternative event to fill the void! It's a great 5 day drive around Victoria during the same week the COT would have run. Affectionately known as "NOT the COT", this run will take us east to Paynesville, up through the Victorian High Country to Dinner Plains, on to Beechworth, Milawa, and then back to Melbourne.
