Greensmith crashed 5/10, Breen crashed 2/10
He might as well be using Tarot cards

Great to have Rally NZ back. Big congratulations to Kalle, what a talent and so young. We always talk about will Loeb's 9 titles ever be surpassed...could this be the start of that. He's got a 8 year head start!
Shame about the weather over the weekend, we had beautiful blue skies and dry roads leading up to the rally, but that's what rally is all about...can't make it too easy for them.
Huge crowds, which was great to see. There seems to be a great underlying interest in rallying from all walks of the NZ public, it always surprises me when people mention rallying in this country completely out of the blue. It must all come from the days when Rally NZ was as regular part of the championship. I bumped into a lot of people I knew on the stages that I had no idea were interested in the WRC. It was great.
Improvements for next time...even out the kilometres between day one and two. It was a bit lopsided. Increase the overall km, it was a little short. Open up more spectator spots per stage to thin the traffic.
Great weekend. Let's do it all again.

Totally agree. A full container between Europe to NZ has increased by 500% since Covid, and that's by sea freight. No idea what air freight is but I'm sure its exorbitant.
So unless your the son of an Italian fashion mogul, or have some very generous sponsors, the trip down to this part of the world isn't cheap.
I read somewhere a few weeks ago that the FIA helped finance getting Hayden Paddon's new Hyundai WRC2 get back to NZ, as they needed to make sure he was on the start line in the latest equipment from a PR point of view to bring in the crowds.

Agree, it was a bit thin.
There were an additional 40 odd 'National' cars running behind the WRC event cars that didn't make it on the results list on WRC.com or eWRC-results. Some of these cars would've been eligible for the main event (some not, as they were too old) but then there's the additional expense of using the mandatory P1 racing fuel. Only a handful of the local drivers choose to do this.

Keith Cronin just took a huge 18.2 sec out of both Devine & Edwards on SS4 ! Edwards says that's mental and Keith is a special talent.
