🎆🎇🎇🎆 A massive HAPPY NEW YEAR to all our followers, supporters, volunteers, clubs and teams that have been instrumental for a fantastic 2024 season. It’s been a cracker.

We also would like you to raise a glass to remember those we lost in 2024 and send those family’s our thoughts… they are not forgotten.

Here’s to a 2025 with a new year with new challenges for our teams. New events and new roads will test you. New teams and some new cars changing hands. 👍👍

From the NZRC team.. thanks too you all, have a safe night and we look forward to seeing you all in the coming months.

- What we'd all love to unwrap on Christmas day!

Brian Green's Ford Es**rt World Rally Car came to our sures in 1998 and although now living overseas, was an amazing treat for the spectators on New Zealand stages.

Pictured here at the Hawkes Bay Rally, 1998. Thanks for tuning in across the year, we wish you a happy festive season and will see you all in 2025.
