Circle Hill Class B Record Beaten By Rory Lawn!

The Class B record was previously held by Richie Chadwick, achieved in 2020. 6 years later Rory Lawn has taken the Class B record by 2.51s.

Congratulations to Rory and his crew, a phenomenal drive!

What a weekend at Lonestar Rally Canterbury!

After an epic battle with Josh Silcock we came away with the win in the New Zealand Rally Championship Cat5B. Super pace in the 1600 class, including Josh’s unreal time on Mt Grey down, without the spin at Ruapuna you had us but that’s rallying!

Fantastic job from Matty Sayers on the notes all weekend, top class!

Thanks to Grace, Josh, Doug and Al for keeping us right all weekend! And Sean Haggarty, again thanks for the hospitality!

And for the sponsors, we couldn’t do it without you:
Pulse Environmental Col Sanders
Heatrix
Premier Fire
BMG Autos Glenn Alcorn
Evolve
Huntsman Boats

Onwards and upwards to the Southland Rally where hopefully the 5B battle continues!

Well Otago Rally 2026 didn’t dissapoint. The event and the roads where unreal, and there was some great battles all weekend.

I can only say that we surpassed our own expectations, finishing 20th overall and coming home second in Cat5B behind Sean McAloon in our first New Zealand Rally Championship event. We were 2nd to the flying Ian Warren in Allcomers class B, no doubt Josh Silcock (3rd) would have been right up there but for his errands on stage 1.

Absolutely flawless job by Matty Sayers on the notes all weekend, and serious craic had!

Thanks to Oisin Mclaughlin and all the lads at MCL M-Sport, Grace and Josh for Service, fuel, food and all the help over the weekend. Also to Ari Pettigrew for getting the car to where it is now, and Sean Haggarty for all the assistance through the year.
And a special thanks to Mike Lynn for allowing the Irish invasion for the weekend!

And we wouldn’t be here without our sponsors:
Pulse Environmental (Col Sanders)
Heatrix
Premier Fire
BMG Autos (Glenn Alcorn)
Evolve

Can’t wait for the next round at Canterbury, which has been my nemesis to date!
