To get a 2WD car in the top five, there's always going to be some risk involved, but we've found a couple of bits from last weekend's Barry Robinson Memorial Rally Southland that we think would've induced a bit of 'freckle flutter' for Ari Pettigrew and Jack Norris in the Porsche....

Because it's technically still rally week, we've come up with a few more awards to dish out, and today's winners can give themselves a DIY pat on the back, quite the honour!

To finish off it's one we can probably all relate to by this stage of the week, the "I Wish I Was Driving It' award, which goes to John Silcock, one of a few father's who've parked their own toys to support the efforts of their young ones, but we think the facial expression says it all here!

Next up it's the 'Needs Better Landing Gear' award, which goes to Pat Norris & Kevin Cooke after their take off attempts at the SS1 jump weren't quite matched by their landing abilities.......

This one is part just a great photo, part we're relieved Rog still has a BDA after a carb nut fired through the engine in stage one, partly because our man BB loves a good BD and largely cos Simon couldn't come up with a better title, but well done to Roger McKay and Dean McCrostie

Naturally following up the Apex Hunter award is the 'I found the Apex' Award which goes to Jack Hawkeswood and Jason Farmer. Jury is still out on if this is Jack's continued adjustment to left hand drive or just the hot line

Next up it's the Apex Hunter award, usually awarded to Dylan Turner once an entry list is published, but his absence this year has opened up this award to many, this time Paul Cross and Janey Blair take the honours!

This time it's the 'You can't park there' award, which goes to Ben Hunt & Tony Rawstorn, who found the most inconveniently placed creek in SS2, with added inconvenience of the boss having a helicopter to gather evidence. Thankfully the GR Yaris Rally Cup Car stood up to the rough treatment and was back in the afternoon

First up it's the Low-Rider award, which goes to Robbie Stokes & Ally Mackay, with a ride height that would be the envy of many a wannabe boy racer after the infamous jump in SS1!
