Rally New Zealand has a great history, great roads, and a great driver promoting it.
On top of that rallying is gathering momentum in NZ with a huge number of factory and semi factory entries in the AP4 class.
It would be the logical event in that region.
If its run I would bet that big starts like Valentino Rossi and Ken Block, and privateers like Henning Solberg etc would run it - because of the great roads and great atmosphere.
