The name Roger Oakley might not be one of fame and fortune in the world of rallying, but he’s a huge part of the running and success that is the Otago Rally.
In this wide-ranging interview with RallySport Magazine’s Peter Whitten, Oakey explains all things about the New Zealand favourite and how he became involved in the event.
He dives into how the rally secures their international stars and some of the nerve-racking phone calls that he has made to World Champions of all eras.
Ahead of the Otago Rally this weekend, take a listen to some of the key areas as to why and how the Otago Rally has become so successful and famous, not just in New Zealand rallying, but around the world.
Recorded earlier in the year, Oakley is generous with his time and gives some fascinating insights.
