Show Notes
One of New Zealand’s most iconic motorsport events is hitting the ground this weekend.
The Ashley Forest Rally Sprint has attracted many of both the country’s top drivers and international names over the years, with a fast and challenging 1.7 kilometre gravel hillclimb.
Having first competed at age 14, Ashley Forest has played a big part in the career of Kiwi rally driver Hayden Paddon, setting multiple records and claiming many victories.
He told Piney it's a different format to a normal rally – even if you’re in the fastest car, you still need to get through each round with no problems.
“That’s what adds to the excitement for the fans and for ourselves.”
