Round 1 New Zealand Rally Championship Done ✅

We made it! Completed all stages and brought the car home in one piece 🙌

Day 2 had its challenges early on, but once we settled in, we started finding our rhythm in the Yaris. Unfortunately, we experienced some boost issues in the final stages, but we were glad to bring it home.

The car feels strong — a machine with plenty more to unlock. Now it’s all about more seat time and continuing the learning journey.

Otago is truly next level. A professionally run event from start to finish — huge respect to the organisers and volunteers who make it all happen.

Massive thank you to the Force Motorsport team for taking such great care of us while managing four other cars at the same time! Super stoked to be part of the same team as the legendary Toby Price Racing — Motorbike World Champion and two-time Dakar Champion

Proud to be part of the 50th anniversary of this iconic event. We’ve learned a lot — and we’re already looking forward to the next one

What a day!

So much to learn with this new car — and what a place to do it. The Otago Rally stages are something else… easily some of the most challenging in the world.

Super fast, flowing roads with endless crests — you’re basically flying into corners 😳
It certainly reminded us what Otago is known for… and the local drivers here are insane 🤯

Seeing cars off the side of the road all day was definitely an eye opener. This rally demands full respect, and we’re learning more with every stage.

But most importantly… we’re smiling and having fun 😎

Awesome to have Tyler down from Wellington on his uni break 🙌

Straight into it — jumping in and lending a hand

This is what it’s all about — family, teamwork, and building the next generation around the sport

Phew… what a challenge! 😅🔥

Two days of intense recce done and dusted. These stages are next level — fast flowing, big crests, and no room for mistakes. Exactly what rallying is all about!

The scenery here in New Zealand is just unreal… truly magical. But what makes it even more special is the farm life — here’s a classic moment from this morning, waiting our turn while a whole herd of sheep casually takes over the road 🐑😂

Hopefully they stay off the stages tomorrow and don’t start jumping fences! 👀

Official Race Ceremony kicks off TONIGHT 🎉
And then… it’s GAME ON tomorrow! 🚀🔥
