New South Wales rallying young gun, Josh Redhead, is our guest on this week's Special Stage Rally podcast as he prepares for the weekend's Bega Valley Rally.
The Hyundai i20 G4 driver is one of many top-class entries in this year's event, that also includes Neal Bates, Brendan Reeves and Kiwi Derek Ayson.
We take a look at the Bega Valley Rally's long and successful history, and also dig deep into the happenings of last weekend's Rally Italia Sardinia where Ott Tanak took a last-gasp victory.
Aussies Taylor Gill and Dan Brkic again strutted their stuff with success in the JWRC field and have closed the gap to leader Romet Jurgenson.
We also take a cautious look at Saudi Arabia's new 10-year deal to host a round of the World Rally Championship and how this might affect the future hopes of Rally Australia and Rally New Zealand.
There's news on Molly Taylor's entry in the next round of the New Zealand Rally Championship, and good news for rally crews with a new tyre supplier hitting the market.

We preview this weekend’s Rally Sardinia where Aussies Taylor Gill and Dan Brkic continue their push for the Junior World Rally Championship, and also pose the question: “Who’s the most disappointing driver in this year’s WRC?” We’d love to hear your thoughts too.
