Registrations for off road numbers in the 2026 Motorsport Australia Off Road Championship (AORC) season are now open.

Competitors are not required to be registered for the championship to receive points at any rounds this year, like in previous years, however a number reservation is needed to run specific digits of their choice.

In order to secure a championship number, competitors must fill in a registration form before Sunday 23 February, 2026, otherwise they will be allocated a number at random within their class and their preferred number will become available to the public.

The 2026 AORC season, the category’s 45th year running, will feature four pivotal rounds for the upcoming campaign.

Starting in April, the Pooncarie Desert Dash in New South Wales’ Wentworth Shire again hosts the season opening event before the iconic Tatts Finke Desert Race in June.

South Australia’s Loveday 400 will commence the second half of the season in July, before Western Australia’s Kalgoorlie Desert Race wraps up the year in October.

Competitors not intending to compete in the opening round at Pooncarie are not required to register their number before the season opener, but must do so prior to entering their first event for the year if they want to have the number of their choice.

The 2026 Motorsport Australia Off Road Championship gets underway with the Pooncarie Desert Dash in New South Wales on 10-12 April.
