Rally New Zealand
The race is famous for its fast flowing gravel roads which carry the competitors through forests and alongside the New Zealand coastline.It was first held in Taupō in 1969, and was subsequently staged in Canterbury, before moving back to the North Island in 1971.From 2006 to 2008 the event was based in Hamilton, with the service park, parc ferme and the super special stage all being located at the Mystery Creek Events Centre.After over 350 competitive kilometres, only 0.3 seconds separated the winner Marcus Grönholm and second-placed Sébastien Loeb.As of 2020, the event is a part of the World Rally Championship, but was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in New Zealand.
