The World Rally Extravaganga is so much more than just motor sport, and caters for all groups of family, friends and corporates according to event organisers,

“Tons of entertainment has been confirmed for the World Rally extravaganza at Mystery Creek Events Centre. Street entertainers, fire jugglers, extreme stage performers, the ultimate children’s show, Mardi Gras dancers and cultural drummers will set an exciting Mardi Gras atmosphere,” Marketing Manager Nicola Greenwell said.

Also at the event will be V8 simulators, Mahons carnival rides, Go Vertical Bungee and the BP Ultimate mobile truck which shows off a Holden Monaro with spitfire engine and two GT cars on dynos with speeds up to 210km/ph.

“There really is something for everyone including a great range of bands - Late 80s Mercedes band, jazz band Zebra, Mercury Rising ‘The Ultimate Freddy Mercury Stage Show’, and The Chris Baillie Band,” Mrs Greenwell said.

The prestigious inaugural Miss Rally NZ competition will take place during the event, as well as the Tyre Fire Burnout competition, a pyrotechnic display, and a great range of food and beverage including restaurant and bar facilities.
