Two-time World Superbike Championship runner-up, Aaron Slight, will be the guest driver at next month's Otago Rally.

Finnish World Rally Championship legend, Mikko Hirvonen, will contest next year’s International Classic Otago Rally in a huge coup for the New Zealand event.

Planning is well already underway for the running of the 2021 Otago Rally, scheduled to be held from April 16 to 18 next year.

Rallying may be in limbo, but New Zealand's Otago Rally is getting on the front foot, announcing the date for the 2021 event.

A rally calendar of up to eight events has been planned for the latter half of 2020, with some popular events set to run.

Due to the spread of COVID-19 the Otago Rally, one of New Zealand's major motorsports events, will not be held on the planned date of April 3-5, 2020.

The recent announcements by the NZ Prime Minister to control the spread of the Covid 19 virus have had a considerable effect on the Otago Rally, planned to be held on 3-5 April.

22-year old Canvastown apprentice, Jonty Brenssell, has been selected as the Otago Rally Scholarship winner for 2020.

The 2020 Otago Rally is pleased to announce that they have partnered with popular local restaurants for this year's event.
