“He is a wonderful ambassador of the sport and someone who clearly just loves competing, and meeting the fans and the other competitors.”His entry comes after recent news that Irishman Frank Kelly will return in his famous ‘Baby Blue’ Escort, while popular rally commentator, Colin Clark, will also attend the event for the first time. New Zealand’s own WRC star, Hayden Paddon, is also expected to contest the event once again. The 2019 Dunedin Isuzu Otago Rally will run over the weekend of April 13 and 14, with two-days of fast-paced rally action following a publicity start in Dunedin's Octagon on Friday evening, April 12. It is also round one of the Brian Green Property Group New Zealand Rally Championship. The 2019 Otago Rally receives Major Events funding from Dunedin City Council, and is supported by the Otago Community Trust.
