This is what I meant!
Australia had Bunnings, Muresk and York Railway
Smokin joe has already mentioned the Whaanga Coast for us Kiwis. The dipping and dancing look the cars have on that stretch of road is fantastic.
However lets not forget the Motu, and Mangaturoto forest (sp).
Any photo where there is nothing but rolling green paddocks will = New Zealand.
& Murray Pines (Colin's crash in '99 was jump over junction then about 400m to a tight hairpin left up onto another road)Quote:

The ones I mentioned are far more iconic though and when people think of when they think of Australia. I still remember fondly standing at the media point near the end of York Railway where the cars get spat out of the corner inbetween the trees :)Quote:

Such a great video. This rally is just as classic and iconic as they come. I would feel instantly better about the WRC if they can get this event reinstated. It's been 7 long years without it. It needs to be included when the championship regains strength. I think if it was on next years calendar they would be lucky to get 30 entries.Quote:
