18 Special Stages over 264 kilometres on what is widely regarded as the world’s best gravel rally roads await competitors in the 2021 International Rally of Whangarei brought to you by Mark Cromie Motor Group.
The fast cambered roads of the north will host the second round of the 2021 Brian Green Property Group New Zealand Rally Championship. The event will also see the top 3 registered Drivers from Rally Otago and Rally of Whangarei qualify for a place in the Asia Pacific Rally Championship final in Coffs Harbour, Australia in late November.
We will also have a strong Clubmans field full of both locals and drivers from across the country.
