Kiwi driver Sloan Cox is hoping to end the New Zealand Rally Championship on a high at this weekend's Rally New Zealand.
The event is based out of ASB Baypark Stadium in Tauranga and will see the crews head towards Raglan for Saturday's stages then back to stages south of
Tauranga where Sloan Cox first learned to race on at 15.
After gaining second overall at Rally Waitomo the team is aiming to finish the season on a high with another podium result. The Taslo Engineering Mitsubishi Evo X had a few minor problems with the brakes overheating which hindered the team at Rally Waitomo, but the brakes have been overhauled since the last event and new brake ducting installed to keep them cool with the hotter weather.
"I am very excited for the final round of 2017 New Zealand Rally Championship and we are looking forward to a good battle at the top of the field with the championship still on the line and it is great to have WRC driver Hayden Paddon back for this event," Cox said.
"We have not had the best year so far due to mechanical issues, but we have kept our pace.
