Three Heats Set to Shake Up the Championship at the 2025 Quality Accounting Coffs Coast Rally

Event Date: Saturday 11th October 2025

The stage is set for a thrilling finale to the Shamrock Haulage NSW Rally Championship and the NSW Clubman Rally Series, as competitors head to Woolgoolga, NSW on Saturday, 11th October for the 2025 Quality Accounting Coffs Coast Rally, the final round of the 2025 season.

A recently released Bulletin confirms that the event will run as three heats for the NSW Rally Championship component, adding an extra layer of strategy and pressure to an already tight points battle. The new format means drivers can earn points in each heat, potentially shaking up the championship standings right to the final stage.

Tight Battle at the Top

The fight for the NSWRC Driver’s Championship is finely balanced, with Jody Mill leading on 134 points, closely followed by Tony Sullens on 132. Lachlan Moore (113 points) remains in contention, while Nathan Quinn (104) and Josh Redhead (100) round out the top five and they are all capable of influencing the final result depending on how the three heat format plays out.

In the Co-Drivers’ Championship, Kaylie Newell leads with 132 points, just ahead of Paul Bailey (113), David Green (104), and Ray Winwood-Smith (100). With multiple heat points on offer and dropped rounds in play, even small changes in performance could swing the final standings.

Clubman Title Wide Open

The NSW Clubman Rally Series remains wide open heading into the finale, with championship leaders Blake Stevens and Stephen Kent not entered for Coffs. That opens the door for Dennis and Luke Stanford, who currently sit second in both the Driver and Co-Driver standings, to potentially move to the top with a strong finish.

Also entered are Mark Lacey and Tyler Schippan, currently third in the standings, who will be looking to consolidate their position or even leapfrog the Stanfords depending on results.

A Fitting End to the Season

The 2025 Quality Accounting Coffs Coast Rally will feature ten special stages and more than 170 competitive kilometres of rally action. Fans can catch the excitement from two official spectator points.

The event is organised by the Coffs Harbour and District Sporting Car Club and proudly supported by Quality Accounting, along with Shamrock Haulage and MRF Tyres, series partners of the NSW Rally Championship.
With multiple championships on the line, dropped scores in play, and a unique three-heat format ready to shake up the standings, the 2025 Quality Accounting Coffs Coast Rally promises an unforgettable finish to the 2025 season.
