2022 Otago Rally

Drivesouth, the motoring section of the Otago Daily Times, has been announced as the major sponsor for the motorsport show to be held on Friday, May 9, the night before the 2008 Rally of Otago gets under way.

The official entry list for the 2008 Rally of Otago is now available. The list includes 21 entries in the New Zealand Rally Championship round, 50 entries in the Dunlop Classic Rally, and a further 32 cars in the Rally Xtreme.

The story of the Kelly Gang may have ended when the famous Australian bushrangers were killed in 1880, but the Kelly name continues to pop up.

The youngest driver ever in the New Zealand Rally Championship, Sloan Cox, will make his debut at the Rally of Otago in May, and looks set to leave his mark on the Dunedin based event.

The 16-year old was only able to contest two of the six championship rounds in 2007 as he wasn’t old enough to obtain an international motorsport licence, but is champing at the bit ahead of his debut in the Dunedin-based event.

The route map for the 2008 Rally of Otago has been updated, and now includes service and spectator locations.
