Central Machine Hire Otago Rally

The Central Machine Hire Otago Rally is based in the beautiful city of Dunedin, in the south of New Zealand, and is a round of the New Zealand Rally Championship and TER Series, the World Series of TER . This component of the event features New Zealand’s leading competitors in modern, state-of-the-art 4WD turbo rally cars, including the exciting AP4 and Rally2 cars.

The event also incorporates the International Classic Otago Rally, for pre-1982, 2WD cars. This event has grown in leaps and bounds since its inception in 1997, to the point where it is the leading event of its type in the Southern Hemisphere.

Dunedin is New Zealand’s southern heritage city, founded by Scottish settlers in 1848 on the shores of a long natural harbour and often called the “Edinburgh of the South” for its Victorian and Edwardian architecture. Today visitors enjoy a compact historic centre around the Octagon, easy access to the dramatic Otago Peninsula, and some of the country’s most famous attractions, from Larnach Castle to the world’s steepest residential street, Baldwin Street. This blend of rich history, lively student culture and spectacular coastal scenery makes Dunedin a memorable base for exploring Otago and experiencing the Central Machine Hire Otago Rally.
