## Resource

Kris Meeke and Mads Ostberg are joined by Pasi Hagstrom, Toby Price, Alex Rullo and the New Zealand Rally Championship stars at this weekend’s 50th Anniversary Otago Rally. We take a look at the detailed book that’s been released and give an insight into RallySport Magazine’s VIP tour, which begins on Thursday evening. Then we review Wednesday’s testing action and give our thoughts on what we might see when stage times start rolling in on Saturday morning. Rally Queensland’s entry list, along with Croatia Rally starts for Hayden Paddon and Taylor Gill, are also discussed on this bumper edition of Special Stage. Special Stage is produced for the Motorsport Podcast Network by RallySport Magazine >> https://rallysportmag.com/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
