The Excel Rally Series is a one-make rally series run in Australia. The series is based on the Hyundai Excel X3 (also known as the Hyundai Accent in other countries) and is the most popular one make rally series in Australia. The Excel Rally Series has a Web site and forum where current and potential competitors can ask questions, discuss the cars and competition, and learn how to become involved. ==History== The Excel Rally Series was developed to be a replacement series to the aging Gemini Rally Series that has been around for two decades. Following a visit to the Bega Valley Rally in 2005 by Col Hardinge and John Carney from Victoria, both were impressed with these cars and after some discussion decided to take the idea to Victoria. After a meeting with interested people toward the end of 2005 there appeared to be sufficient interest to create a Victorian Series, including the cars in the highest level of State Rallying in Victoria through the Victorian Rally Championship. With corporate support from several sources including Hyundai Motor Corporation Australia, several cars were built during the summer of 2005/06. The first appearance of the new cars was at a function to launch the Series at Wights Motor Group Traralgon. This was attended by several high-ranking Hyundai officials as well as two cars from the NSW Series. The first rally in Victoria for the series being the David Nutter Ford rally. It was not until the second rally being a very wet Cerberus Stages, which at the time was a day and night rally, that the full Excel field arrived. Two years on the Excel Series in Victoria makes up close to third of the field in any Victorian Rally Championship, Excel teams have also scooped the pool in many of the outright awards in the Championship. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Excel Rally」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
