Jaguar New Zealand Rally 2021
Easter 2nd - 5th April 2020
Information sourced from Taranaki Jaguar Drivers Club
Thank you all Jaguar enthusiasts who have registered for the 2021 National Rally. As you will all be aware we reached capacity numbers very early on and now have a waiting list to attend. We very much would like to accommodate everyone but venues are limiting numbers. Covid-19 has certainly put a spanner in the works, both with our preparations and how we will host the Rally. We have made the decision to proceed with the Rally in 2021 but obviously if the Covid-19 situation changed dramatically we would have to reconsider. As long as New Zealanders are able to move freely around the country and gather in numbers of 500 then we see no reason to postpone the event. We are working on getting a full registration and booking form out to everyone to fill in. You can expect this before October end. We have put together a programme of events for participants - this is subject to change as many venues etc are still dealing with Covid-19 fall out and we have been unable to confirm all details. The following proposed programme gives you an idea on what might be happening over the weekend.
