THE KIWI OPENER THAT DELIVERED RALLYING ROCK AND ROLL

The full gamut of emotions were on show at the stop line of the Kuri Bush stage, which closed out yet another classic – in every sense of the word – Otago Rally on Sunday afternoon. Kris Meeke? Brandon Semenuk? They can wait. The first word has to go to Jack Hawkeswood.

The 23-year-old Kiwi was never going to steal the limelight from such lauded company as five-time world rally winner Meeke and two-time American champ Semenuk, but the Toyota GR Yaris driver certainly borrowed his fair share on an exceptional weekend for himself and co-driver Jason Farmer.
