2026 Round Six: RallyDrive NZ Maramarua Forest Rally
14 November
2026 NIRS Finale to be held in the Holy Grail of New Zealand Rallying!
The final round of the Hawkeswood Mining North Island Rally Series sees drivers return to the hallowed hunting grounds on 14 November 2026.
Based in Te Kauwhata and steeped in rally folklore, the RallyDrive NZ Maramarua Forest Rally has three 40km loops, creating 120kms of fast and smooth forest Special Stages for National permitted competitors (safety notes available from Rally Notes NZ). The Rally is also open to international competitors, plus an 80km Clubman option is available. It is held 2 weeks before the Silver Fern, making it a great shakedown opportunity for those competitors.
The Hawkeswood Mining NIRS End of Season prizegiving will be held at the conclusion of the Maramarua Forest Rally.
Thank you to all of our sponsors,
