A Round of the North Island Rally Series

Based out of New Plymouth the event consists of iconic Taranaki back country roads, 100% tarmac.

This year we propose to run two events, firstly the Tarmac Rally as part of the North Island Rally Series, secondly a Tarmac Tour.

TARMAC RALLY: The draft RALLY supplementary regulations are made available here for information only, as they will change after review and approval by MSNZ (DRAFT RALLY Supplementary Regulations.pdf)

TARMAC TOUR: The Tour is designed for people who have a special road legal car they do not want to fit with full MSNZ safety equipment but want to experience driving their car following a predetermined route in an exciting non-competitive atmosphere. The Tour is not a race. All cars travel in convoy on the route, and their pace is governed by a Tour Leader, with a Tour Follower vehicle. Additional Mid-Point officials may be included as required. No overtaking is permitted on the closed road sections.
