Approx. 18 Special Stages over 264 kilometres on what are widely regarded as the world’s best gravel rally roads await competitors in the 2020 International Rally of Whangarei.

The fast cambered roads of the north will host for the 14th consecutive year the second round of the 2020 FIA Asia Pacific Rally championship, the series also visiting Australia, Japan, Indonesia and China.

The event is also the second round of the 2020 Brian Green Property Group New Zealand Rally Championship.

We will also have a strong Clubmans field full of locals and drivers from across the country.
