On Day 1 the rally will head south and include famous stages such as Whare Flat, Waipori Gorge, McIntosh Road and, of course, Kuri Bush.Many past stages will also be used in different configurations, with the service park based at the pretty Lake Waihola. “The longest stage of Day 1 will be a 42km test on fast public roads – finishing in the upper Waipori Forest,” Rally Manager, Norman Oakley, said. “Then on Sunday the rally will head north to stages around Palmerston and Middlemarch, including a brand new 14km public road stage. “The rally will finish with a 35km version of the iconic Nenthorn stage.” Following the champagne finish at the historic Dunedin Railway Station, the ever-popular prizegiving ceremony will take place at the Dunedin Town Hall.
