RE: PHASE OUT OF LEADED FUELS

We wish to inform all Competitors that a decision by the Australian Minister for the Environment has been handed down to Phase out All Leaded Fuels in Australia in two years’ time. This will see the effect take place on the 1st July 2019. IHRA Australia is working closely with Canberra to understand the effects this will have on the sport moving forward.

A full and detailed release to follow from the Ministers office in Canberra; however we felt it was important to pass the information on to all concerned. We will provide the release in its entirety once it is distributed.

This will no doubt have an impact on the sport and IHRA Australia is committed to ensuring that all parties concerned including racer groups will be involved and invited to provide input and feedback surrounding the decision and the steps required moving forward.

IHRA Australia will continue to monitor this announcement and pass on all necessary pieces of information surrounding this issue.

For further enquiries please don’t hesitate to contact head office on 03 9736 9578
Kind Regards

Maurice Allen

CEO
