Aussies who are car lovers and followers would surely be extremely excited about this new piece of news. The Cannonball Run which is the largest car rally the world over would soon be coming to the continent. But not quite soon enough. There would be some more months to go before they would be able to participate and be part of that event.

You see, Cannonball Run would be shooting towards Australia still on the fifth month of next year. But it would indeed be a great event for many car enthusiasts and fanatics of vehicles and racing would surely be having a grand time here. It would also be a chance for these people to meet other fanatics like themselves as well as rub elbows with some of the famous racers and auto experts. And if you are asking if this might also be a good place to shop around for Acura performance parts, well, maybe not. But it would be a good way to learn about vehicles and look for the kind of parts that you would like your own vehicle to bear.

It would be the Cannonball World Events who would be bringing such a grand auto activity to the continent. Cannonball World Events is a company which is based in London. It is run by Tim "Maverick" Porter, the managing director for the Cannonball Run World Events, and is also one of the automobile world's popular icons for he is known as a car aficionado and a really grand driver. In fact, he has already gained great popularity throughout the European continent where he is known as a really infamous bad boy when it comes to driving.

Porter emphasizes, "Safety is paramount to this event and in the previous six years and eight major events held in Europe we have never had a serious accident and we believe this is due to the way we police our own event with very strict rules. Drivers must complete the course with an average speed at or below the national speed limit rather than racing to be the first car to arrive." As per the event, he even further adds, "This event is based on the success of our Cannonball Run Europe events which embody the spirit of the original US Cannonball Run event and the 1981 movie."
