Battery Town Rally Bay of Plenty 2026 is the final round of the Brian Green Property Group New Zealand Rally Championship and Round 5 of the North Island Rally Series.
This year the event is based in Whakatāne, with the Ceremonial Start taking place on The Strand on Friday evening and the Service Park located in Kawerau.
Competitors can look forward to approximately 160 kilometres of competitive stages, with all stages being unique. Crews will tackle the roads of the Eastern Bay of Plenty before returning to Whakatāne for Saturday night's finish celebrations and prizegiving.
The Ceremonial Start on Friday evening will give spectators the opportunity to meet competitors, get up close to the rally cars and soak up the atmosphere before competition begins on Saturday.
With competitors, teams, officials and spectators travelling from around New Zealand, Battery Town Rally Bay of Plenty promises another memorable weekend of rallying.
We look forward to welcoming everyone to Whakatāne this October.
