Great to be back in Belgium for Rally Ypres week! Today we got some miles behind the wheel of the Hyundai i20N Rally2 car, and for Kris and I to work together for the first time. This is Kris D’alleine 20th time doing this rally, so has alot of experience, now we both just need to learn a bit of Flemish and Kiwi language together 😂

Looking forward to getting back to NZ to start our NZ program with Wyndham Rally next month with the Hyundai NZ Rally2.
A big part of our NZ program is our partnership with Caltex. What started with Z Energy in 2012, is our longest standing partnership, and now along with the Caltex distributors, humbled to be working with such a great group of people, and high quality products. Now we are also using Caltex Havoline lubricants in all our cars, trucks and support vehicles to not only aid performance, but also reliability.

Job done and P7 here in Japan.
Last 2 days have been positive and have enjoyed driving the Hyundai Rally1 on tarmac for the last time in the Rally1 era. For what were new stages for us and still learning every time we drive the car, we’re happy with our pace compared to Thierry and Adrian.
It’s been 3 tough and enjoyable WRC events this year which I’m very thankful to the team for. Very much appreciate the opportunity and making us feel so welcome. Big thanks also to John and our gravel crew Teemu and Jack for their efforts.
