about this event

NZRC Round 4 returns to Hawke's Bay for the first time since 2022 — a comeback story four years in the making. Closed-road gravel rally through the region's iconic back country.

Rally Hawke's Bay returns to the Brian Green Property Group New Zealand Rally Championship for the first time since 2022 — and the story behind its absence makes the comeback all the more powerful. Cyclone Gabrielle devastated the region in early 2023, damaging roads and forcing the NZRC to look elsewhere for several seasons. That the championship is back in Hawke's Bay in 2026 is both a sporting event and a statement of regional resilience. Round 4 of six, the Hawke's Bay round typically runs across closed public gravel roads in and around the greater Hawke's Bay region, with all the speed and spectacle that come with watching New Zealand's best rally crews attack the clock on roads that double as driveways for local farmers. With the championship fight reaching mid-season intensity by August, expect high stakes and high speed in equal measure.

Are track days in New Zealand open to the public?
