RallySport Magazine are currently putting together a spectator tour for the 2013 International Classic Rally of Otago, to be held in New Zealand's South Island in April.

This year's Otago Rally will feature former World Rally Champion, Miki Biasion (Porsche 911 RS) and four-time Australian Rally Champion, Neal Bates (Toyota Celica), among the classic rally competitors, while the event also doubles as the first round of the 2013 New Zealand Rally Championship.

Having attended the event over 10 times, RallySport Magazine are well
placed to guide you through the best spectating options for this year's
event, as well as providing special additions to make your trip one to
remember.
