What do you do if you're too young to have taken part in the last WRC Rally New Zealand in 2012, and need to learn the stages? You jump on YouTube, of course! ⬇️
The fast and flowing gravel roads of New Zealand have long been a hit with rally drivers, but only three of the current WRC Rally1 roster can boast experience of the country’s famous roads.
Toyota’s Elfyn Evans admitted he went on a “YouTube hunt” for footage and onboards to help ready himself.Autosport.com“It always looks slightly different in real life to how it does on the videos. It's not so different but it is very difficult to try and learn the stages. “It is a great rally still and a massive challenge,” he added. “Anywhere you go with new notes from the beginning is always difficult.”
“For sure, I have been asking my father a lot, as he has a lot of experience, and of course YouTube is a good place to go,” Solberg told“There are a lot of old rally videos on there and a lot of onboards, so there is a lot to look at and a lot to learn. Quizzed about his hopes for the event, he added: “On tarmac, I feel good with the car. But just on gravel, so far I haven’t had any good experiences. The car looks to be better and better, but we will see.”
