Following the monumental success of its 50th-anniversary celebration, organisers of the Central Machine Hire Otago Rally have officially announced the provisional dates for 2027.

A reminder, for spectators and volunteers - help us show the value of rallying and the Otago Rally to our key funders. We would really appreciate it if all SPECTATORS AND VOLUNTEERS could take two minutes to complete our post event survey: https://survey.alchemer.com/s3/8790164/Otago-Rally-2026-spectator-survey
The survey asks what you thought about the event. It feeds into a comprehensive economic impact assessment that helps our Government stakeholders understand the benefits that Otago Rally brings to Dunedin and the wider country, to help secure future funding for the event.
All complete responses received by 5pm Friday 1 May will enter the draw to win a $250 Prezzy Card (emailable)!"
This is really important to us, and we'd be grateful if you'd share this post. Help us do it all over again for 2027.
