Announcement comes amid growing tension among drivers, crews. FMTNews

Locals watch smoke from a large bushfire outside Nana Glen, near Coffs Harbour.

“Considering the best interests and safety of everyone involved in the rally, and of course the wider community, it is not appropriate to conduct the rally,” event chairman Andrew Papadopoulos said in a statement. Tanak, who drives for Toyota but will switch to Hyundai next season, now finishes the season 36 points ahead of Belgian Thierry Neuville.

The cancellation announcement came after growing tension among drivers and crews who feared if the rally went ahead it would be in impossible conditions. “First and foremost, our thoughts and best wishes are with local firefighters, residents and officials who are affected by this critical situation.”
