    At least some of them, I remember watching the Spring Rally on Backline Road (Stage 2 this year) as a kid.

    Parts of Stages 3 and 6 have also been used for hillclimbs/sprints in recent years.

    These were all old Spring Rally roads from the 1970's and 80's. Occasionally the were used in the 1990's and a few of them in the early 2000's
    Things happen for reasons, not excuses.

    Good day out at Catlins Coast Rally on Saturday. Quite a novelty having no snow or rain and hardly any mud there compared to the last few years. There was even some dust!

    Bunch of photos here: https://flic.kr/s/aHskCVdmFa

    Winner Andrew Graves, always deceptively fast in the old Evo 3:

    Paddon won Coromandel for his 4th NZ title. Luck and skill combined to overcome the disconnection of turbo pipes on 3 stages.

    https://youtu.be/ZeAHeOJkE6E Paddon's vid - possibly good training for Turkey linking corners.
    https://youtu.be/ejt18va5BUg Coromandel and around
