*NOTE* Date changed to October 24/25
During this current difficult time with COVID-19 to secure an alternative date due to the likely postponement of the Canterbury Rally we have changed the date to October 24/25. Labour day public holiday is the following day. For many reasons this is the only weekend possible for us to hold this event and this early change will allow us to give it the best chance of success.
We will announce more information when we know more. Hope to see you there!
We urge everyone to look after each other in this difficult, somewhat strange time, reach out to each other, keep in touch and carry on as best as possible. Let’s get through this and keep up the discipline of good personal hygiene.
If you have any questions please contact our secretary for the rally, Leanne Jolly kljolly01@gmail.com

Hanmer Rally CANCELLED
2020-09-05
Unfortunately Hanmer Rally will not go ahead in 2020. Autosport Club have made the decision that it is not appropriate to run the rally as the Coroners Hearing is still pending about the sad accident that occurred at the 2018 Hanmer Rally. This is not a choice that our group of volunteers have taken lightly but it’s the tough call that we have to make in the best interest of everybody. We are hopeful for the future, having a Hanmer Rally again when circumstances allow. Thank you for your understanding.

Pipers Valley Rd Gravel Sprint
2020-08-16
CANCELLED Unfortunately circumstances out of our control means the venue permit for our event has been withdrawn and we can no longer run the event. Our volunteers are absolutely gutted after the huge amount of work they’ve done to prepare this event. Sorry to those who entered. We will contact you to organise a full refund. As a consolation Westland Car Club are hosting a great event, the Globe Mine Gravel Hillclimb on Saturday 15th August https://www.facebook.com/westlandcarclub/. Thank you for understanding.
