Registration

Registrations for Rally 2010 opened at 12 noon Australian Western Standard Time on Saturday 1 August 2009.

Who Can Register
All registrants must be a current member of a recognized Mercedes-Benz car club. Registrants may be accompanied by guests who are not current members. Registrants not members can submit a registration form, and will then be contacted by their local club to complete application for membership.

To be considered registered the club member must purchase a minimum package, which is:
* For Western Australians – at least one event
* For all others – Full Rally Package – Couple or Full Rally Package - Single

Australian registrants are eligible for the transport subsidy and special accommodation pricing. New Zealand registrants are eligible for the special accommodation pricing. Other international registrants are not eligible for these offers.

How to Register
Registration is preferred via this website.

To register you will need to be ready to enter the following information:
* Your name, guest name and your contact details including an email address
* Your Club membership details i.e. state and membership reference or number
* The details of the Mercedes-Benz or smart vehicle(s) entering the rally
* The packages or events you are registering for

* Your option requirements - e.g. transport subsidy application, registration for the ANZAC Day Parade
* Special dietary, accommodation or special package needs e.g. family packages

A paper-based registration form is available by pressing the download button, or from your Club Coordinator. If you are able to answer the questions on that form, then you will be ready to register online. If you do not have Internet access or are unsure about registering online, ask a friend or family member, or your Club Coordinator for assistance. Postal registrations will be recorded as received at 12 noon AWST on the date they are received.
