This week’s Repco Rally New Zealand (29 September - 2 October) brings back a set of stages loved right around the world – even in Finland.
“I have to admit,” said Latvala, “from a driver’s side, New Zealand has the best roads. I always say it like this: Finland has the best atmosphere for a rally, but New Zealand has the stages.
“The nice thing about the roads [in New Zealand] is the camber, the way you can take more speed into the corner. The stages are generally quite fast and they flow nicely. OK, they don’t have the same sort of jumps we have in Finland, but still they are very nice to drive.”
