“We’d love to bring the car across to Australia and show it off at Rally Australia,” van Klink told RallySport Magazine.“We are getting to the stage now where the car is pretty well sorted, and competing in a round of the WRC with it would be an incredible experience.”
In our view, getting the car to Coffs Harbour for the event should be high on Rally Australia’s priority list - regardless of the obstacles.
The RX8 would be one of the stars of the show, and further promoting cross-Tasman competition would be just one of the many bonuses to come out of van Klink’s entry.Support for their tilt at Rally Australia has been provided by MRF Motorsport Tyres and Mentor Tyres, with at least three other Kiwis believed to be trying to make the trip to Coffs Harbour as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzpXvwt_0mM
