"We are still exploring the opportunity with the WRC promoters to run a round back in NZ. We should know more in the coming weeks," Rally New Zealand Chairman, PJ Johnston, said.

“We look forward to the announcement of a provisional calendar in due course, but meanwhile, there has been no suggestion from WRC Promoter about being anywhere else but the Coffs Coast.”Former Hyundai WRC star, Hayden Paddon, was hopeful of a Rally New Zealand return when quizzed before the Otago Rally.
"It's probably not my place to say too much to be honest, but, from what I've heard it is looking promising again," he told RallySport Magazine."It's sort of come out of the blue, I think, somewhat. And there seems to be quite a bit of support, locally, in New Zealand, to make it happen again, financially, so yeah, it's looking good. "Ironically, it might come back when we're not in a World Rally Car anymore. So that'd be a bit frustrating."
