Molly Taylor at the Rally NSW Awards ceremony.

The Rally NSW 2017 Awards Night was recently held and it was fantastic to see so many women participating and achieving great things in NSW rallying.

The night was hosted by 2016 Australian Rally Champion, Molly Taylor, and was attended by many of the greats from Rally NSW history.

Rally NSW announced on the night that the MTA will be the naming rights sponsor for the Rally NSW Championship for the next three years and this offers terrific opportunities for both organisations!
