The Otago Rally are thrilled to announce that Dunedin Isuzu D-Max Utes have been confirmed as the rally’s naming rights sponsor for the second year in succession.

The 2019 Dunedin Isuzu Otago Rally will run over the weekend of April 13 and 14, with two-days of fast-paced rally action following a publicity start in Dunedin’s Octagon on Friday evening, April 12.

” We really like how the Otago Rally has raised the profile of the sport, and the benefits it brings to our region,” Dunedin Isuzu D-Max Utes’ Mike Wellington said.

“It has a passionate organising team and I’m very happy to support the event.”

Rally spokesman, Roger Oakley, said that the event was equally pleased to renew their agreement with a local business.

“Dunedin Isuzu D-Max Utes, and its owner Mike Wellington, are great supporters and competitors of rallying,” Oakley said.

“What makes their support special is the many other ways they help behind the scenes – they are fantastic sponsors.”

The 2019 Dunedin Isuzu Otago Rally is round one of the Brian Green Property Group New Zealand Rally Championship, and will again include the popular International Otago Classic Rally.

The 2019 Otago Rally receives Major Events funding from Dunedin City Council, and is supported by the Otago Community Trust.
