Shannons Adelaide Rally debuted the Strathalbyn Lunch Stop and Town Stage in 2023, then Horsepower Crew joined in 2025 with “Sunday Strath Session!” proving a huge hit with the locals and visitors alike.
It now returns in 2026 with double the excitement, with two runs through the town stage PLUS The Soldiers Memorial Garden where Horsepower Crew’s Sunday Strath Session Vehicle Display will be, which is positioned in between the Start and Finish lines of the full rally field!
The stage starts on Catherine Street, turning onto Donald Street and Rankine Street before Sunter Street, crossing the St. Andrews Bridge before the stage finish.
Spectator points will feature across the stage for the free community event, by entering a display vehicle with Horsepower Crew, You could receive special gifts or win one of our 2 Huge prizes valued at over $2,500 from our sponsors too! (see more below!), you also not only have the opportunity to have your hot ride on display in the best spot, but you also get there early to get the best spectator positions, and may have a chance to meet Celebrities on the stage!
