The annual Fordell Day/Night Gravelsprint is back on this weekend, with a field of around 30 cars set to tackle the 5.5km course.
The event also serves as round three of the Central Region Sprint
Series.
Organiser Bryce Hackett said because the rally was part of that series, a lot of the competitors were "quite local".

A group of about 35 set off on the annual Rural Women Walk the World event in high spirits on April 18.
They left Brenda and Andy Collins' house in Warrengate Rd, near Fordell, intending to return there for afternoon tea after a 14km walk across farms on mainly flat ground.
Landowner permissions were obtained by Brenda Collins and the route would take in historic sites, Andy Collins said.
