BRUCE MCLAREN MOTORSPORT PARK, TAUPO
It’s almost one year to the day since the last event, but the age-old question still remains: Mitsubishi v. Subaru,
which is truly the better platform? Hosted by the team at Choice Events, this one will again take place on
Bruce McLaren Motorsport Park’s International Circuit (full track) in Taupo and will encompass cruising, drags,
burnouts/helis, race car sessions, and a show ’n’ shine. While the event is predominantly aimed at Evos and
WRXs, the team will accept entries for any Subaru or Mitsi — Libero, Forester, GSR, B4, or otherwise. Entry
is set at $230 (prepaid). Check out choiceevents.co.nz, or find the event on Facebook for more information.DAYLE ITM GOLD RUSH RALLY OF COROMANDEL, NZRC ROUND FIVE
WHITIANGA
There’s no dispute that rallying is in Kiwis’ blood. And whether you’re a seasoned veteran of the sport or a
first-timer, standing on the edge of a stage (in a safe spot, of course) and having your senses invaded by those
screaming monsters shooting past is the ultimate thrill — even if it is only for a fleeting few seconds at a time.
The 2019 New Zealand Rally Championship (NZRC) is heading back to Whitianga for round five of the season.
This round, known as the Gold Rush Rally of Coromandel, should be firmly etched on your calendar as a must-
attend. Head to nzrallychamps.co.nz for all the details.themotorhood.com1
