The Australian Off-Road Championship (AORC) Management Team has announced a new initiative for the 2021 Championship called Club AROC. The club is aimed at new and upcoming riders to give them a taste of the National Championship competition while also rewarding them under the Club AORC points system.

Club AORC is a great way to gain extra points in the championship.

Club AORC riders will receive bonus points for participating in 7 rounds or more of the 12 round AORC in 2021. If a rider starts 7 rounds or more, a 50-point bonus will be given towards the riders Club AORC points results in their relevant Championship class. Any rider within 10% of the class winner at any sprint or enduro round or within 10% of the class winners fastest lap for a cross country round will not be eligible for Club AORC.

Motorcycling Australia Off-Road Events Manager, Matthew Falvo, said this was an exciting new initiative to further grow the AORC after record rider numbers in AORC this year.
