I thought I'd write a song for the Counties Manukau Offroad Racing Club. Turn the volume up. Watch the video.

Must be nearly RALLY TAUMARUNUI time

05/08/2026

THIS SATURDAY! Rally Taumarunui roars through the landscape of the Ruapehu around Taumarunui! With the Servuce Park at the Cosmopolitan Club there’s plenty to see on the stages and on Katarina St.

🌤️ The countdown is almost over!

The latest forecast is looking fantastic for the return of Rally Taumarunui. After a mild 1°C overnight low on Friday, conditions are expected to remain dry, so frost is unlikely to be an issue. Saturday is then forecast to be cool with light northeasterly winds and some sunshine developing during the afternoon—ideal rally weather, with the light winds also helping to keep the dust down. 🏁🚗💨

Many competitors, officials, volunteers and spectators will be making their way to Taumarunui tomorrow. We wish everyone a safe journey—please take your time, travel carefully, and we'll see you soon.

The excitement around town is building, and our community can't wait to welcome you all back for the first Rally Taumarunui in over 25 years. Thank you for being part of this very special weekend.

Safe travels everyone—we can't wait to see you in Taumarunui ! 💚🏁
