Organisers of the Rally of Otago are expecting an April date for the 2012 event, although confirmation is still some way off.

Planning for next year’s rally is already well advance, however the final date is subject to official confirmation, and will be confirmed once the date for the Hamilton V8 Supercar round is locked in.

“We expect the event to run on the weekend of April 20-22, although
that could still change,” Rally of Otago clerk of course, Norman Oakley
said.
This year’s event was the first round of the New Zealand Rally
Championship, and also featured 1981 World Rally Champion, Ari Vatanen,
in the Otago Classic Rally.

Full details on the 2012 Rally of Otago will be available on the event website soon.
