Former Australian Rally Champion & Current Australian Rally Commission Chairman, Ed Ordynski will pilot the HMCA Excel Rally Team Excel in a one off drive at the Car Auctions Sydney Rally of Lithgow to be held in May. Hyundai in conjunction with Car Auctions Sydney have invited Ordynski to compete at Lithgow.
The Car Auctions Sydney Rally of Lithgow will see Ordynski and navigator Iain Stewart team up again to compete in Round 1 of the NSW State Championship on the 12 May 2007. Ed will drive the 2006 NSW Excel Series winning car that Hyundai's Regional Parts Manager Mick Gillett campaigned so successfully in 2006 to win the NSW Championship.
“We are really very pleased to offer Ed a drive in our car, while it will be somewhat different to the 4WD Turbos that he has driven for over 20 years, we think he will find his feet pretty quickly and really showcase exactly how awesome an Excel Series car is in the right hands”, said Mick Gillett.
Ordynski is a major supporter of state and entry level rallying and sees the Excel series as a great initiative for the sport.
“Everyone tells me the Hyundai’s are fantastic to drive and the opportunity to compete in one is an essential part of my rally education – and my codriver, Iain Stewart did the whole WRC with Hyundai in 1997 and still raves about it!”

The “One Make” Hyundai Excel Rally Series will see rallying in Australia gain new popularity. The series concept started in NSW in 2005 and has since expanded to Victoria (2006), South Australia (2007) and in 2008 it will expand to Tasmania. All series run under the same basic rules in each state allowing interstate competition and parity.
