The field for the 2023 Otago Rally is looking like being one of the best yet, with over 100 intentions to enter already received.

New Zealand’s famous Otago Rally is the first rally in the Southern Hemisphere to be confirmed as part of the new TER World Series.

Six years after he was initially scheduled to compete at the ENEOS Otago International Classic Rally, Finland’s Mikko Hirvonen will finally suit up for the world-famous rally next April.

Nearly 60 competitors have already submitted their intentions to enter the 2023 Otago Rally, including 12 international drivers.

Five months from the start of the 2023 Otago Rally, competitors can now submit their 'intention to enter' forms.

Route details for the 2023 edition of the Otago Rally have emerged, with high hopes that the popular rally will be back to its pre-COVID heights.

After the troubles of the pandemic, hopes are high that the Otago Rally will be back better than ever on April 1 and 2, 2023 – and that's no April Fool's Day joke.
