The Rally of Canberra was controversially cut in half with just Sunday’s action taking place due to weather. It didn’t stop Harry Bates and Coral Taylor, though, with their new Toyota GR Yaris Rally2 on song all day.
Luke and Peter Whitten talk about all that happened in a wet and wild event before they welcome former World Rally Championship star, Kris Meeke, to talk briefly about his Otago Rally hopes aboard a classic Ford Escort RS1800.
Aidan Peterson also joins the podcast as he covers off on his successful four-wheel drive debut in the ARC and updates us on his exciting Suzuki Swift G4 build.
