News about the Canadian Rally Championship, events and drivers
THE CANADIAN RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP
In 2009 the Canadian Rally Championship enters its 52nd year of racing in Canada.
The Canadian Rally Championship rallies are made up of special stages (controlled and monitored roads) and transits (on public roads) where time penalties determine the finishing order. The lowest total time taken on the stage portions of the rally combined with any time penalties on transits determine the winner of the rally. The rallies are organized by member clubs in the area where they take place. The Canadian Rally Championship is currently made up of six events.
The teams are made up of a driver and a co-driver and they compete in one of several vehicle classes. (Open- usually made up of 4WD, turbo vehicles; Group 2- an open class for normally aspirated 2WD vehicles ; Group N- an FIA world class for production vehicles; and Production Class-where vehicles are divided into 4 sub classes (P1, P2, P3 and P4) based on adjusted displacement limits and are allowed modifications only to improve reliability and safety.

ROUND 6 - RALLY OF THE TALL PINES BANCROFT, ON, NOV 20 - 21, 2009
PATRICK RICHARD AND ALAN OCKWELL WIN TALL PINES AND CHAMPIONSHIP
Pat Richard and Alan Ockwell of Subaru Rally Team Canada won the Rally of the Tall Pines after a come back following transmission problems. The win of the 2009 Rally of the Tall Pines gave them a repeat as Canadian Rally Champions.
"The gearbox stuck in fifth, and Alan was running back to put out the triangle," said Richard. "Then it came unstuck and we could continue, but without fifth or sixth."
The crew replaced the tranny with a standard synchro gearbox, and the Subaru Rally Team Canada re-entered the last four stages of the rally more than a minute behind Antoine L'Estage and Nathalie Richard to still come up with the win.
"It's a fantastic way to finish the season," said Pat Richard. "We were pushing hard and might have caught Antoine, but we'll never know."
Antoine L'Estage and Nathalie Richard ran into clutch troubles in the last stage and had to settle for a 5th place finnish.
