Bates Brothers Share a Podium — Pedder Takes ARC Round 2 Western Australia

Scott Pedder and co-driver Glenn MacNeall took overall victory at ARC Round 2, the Plant Hire Forest Rally in Busselton and Nannup, Western Australia, on May 22–24. The result drew immediate attention not for its winner alone, but for the podium beneath him: Lewis Bates and Anthony McLaughlin second, Harry Bates and Coral Taylor third. The Bates brothers — sons of five-time ARC champion Neil Bates — stood on the same podium at the same rally. Harry had dominated Round 1 in Queensland, winning eleven of fifteen stages. In Western Australia, it was Lewis who pushed him down a step. The championship is already shifting. A full analysis of the ARC, the Bates brothers, and what Pedder's second win means is reserved for subscribers.
