π Great Day at Little Valley Rallysprint! π
What a great day out at the Little Valley Rallysprint today for the final event of the Hawkeswood Mining Deep South Rallysprint Series!
A huge thanks to Steve, Tracey and Jason for all the work that went into organising the event. We really appreciate the time and effort that goes on behind the scenes to give us the opportunity to get out there and have some fun. π
Had an awesome day in the car and managed to come away with a trophy too! π Not a bad way to finish off the series!
Thanks to everyone involved in making all the events happen β officials, volunteers and fellow competitors.
A massive thank you as well to all my sponsors and supporters. Your support really does make a difference. Turning up to events and seeing people there encouraging me, having a chat, lending a hand or simply cheering me on means more than you probably realise. It definitely helps keep me pushing and enjoying what I love doing.
Thanks to everyone who has been part of the journey this season β I really appreciate having you all behind me. β€οΈπ
Another great day of Southland motorsport! ππ¨π

All ready for Little Valley Rallysprint in Alexandra today.
Here's to a great day out.
This is stage 1 of the 2026 Southland rally, it was probably the best stage of the day due to some weather and road condition changes later in the day and a wee mishap on stage 4 causing me to slow down a bit. Hope you enjoy!!!

A couple photos of the aftermath. Thanks to my crew Karl and Konrad for getting the car back together at service so I could get back out and finish the day. Hopefully there is less work to do at the next event!!
Had a wee oopsie on stage 4 in the weekend. Massive thanks to Dad for pulling the car out with a strop!
Here is a wee video of Ryan and Glenn on stage 7, from Karl Argyle who stopped by a spectator point after servicing with Konrad Ward. Thanks so much for the help guys. Ryan definitely needed your expertise after taking out the fence π. More to come on that escapade a bit later.

π A quick update from Ryan's Racing! π
With Mum flat out in Rally Headquarters yesterday and Grandad and Gem ( Gail Wilson ) on finish control of 2 stages, there wasn't anyone keeping you all up to date on how the weekend unfolded.
Ryan will put together a full event wrap-up over the coming days... once he's repaired a fence π
and had a well-earned rest!
In the meantime, here are a couple of photos courtesy of Fenix Moodie . πΈ
Thanks to everyone who came out to support the rally, cheered from the sidelines, volunteered and followed our weekend. Stay tuned for Ryan's recap, where he'll share how the event went, the highs, the challenges, and what's next.
