Hello Rally Enthusiasts,

It’s been another busy and productive few weeks as we continue working through the local disruptions following the recent weather events, and we’re pleased to say the road ahead is looking much clearer.

We’re seeing entries arrive regularly from our international competitors, and positive progress continues around the various shipping routes both into and out of New Zealand.

Phil Gibbs has reassured us there are plenty of shipping options available, and with his extensive experience and inside knowledge, competitors can feel confident knowing there’s a solid plan in place for getting vehicles home after the event.

If you’ve been sitting on the fence, now’s the time to jump in and secure your spot — this is shaping up to be another outstanding high-performance event from the Ultimate Rally Group, and we’re excited about what’s ahead.

We’ve also updated the website with our preferred accommodation list, along with itinerary updates reflecting the revised Day 2 route, so be sure to check them out.

Over the coming weeks we’ll be out on the road carrying out resident consultations. Communication may be a little patchy at times, but we’ll continue doing our best to respond as quickly as possible.

Thanks again for all the support and enthusiasm — we can’t wait to welcome everyone for another fantastic event.

Kind Regards
Peter Martin
Event Director
