Joe McAndrew has won the five-day Dunlop Targa Rally with a 35 second victory after 43 special stages around the North Island of New Zealand.
Starting in Auckland on Monday morning, McAndrew and co-driver Sue O’Neill arrived at the finish after a week long battle against Australian Ray Vandersee.
Taking the win, McAndrew was able to put a Kiwi name atop the standings that has been dominated by Australians for the last four years.
Australian Ray Vandersee finished second in his Skelta G Force, while Emma Gilmour was third after leading the event after the first day.
