A Rallying Adventure

By OBHS | Posted: Thursday April 10, 2025

Year 13 student, Mikko Johnston, recently co-drove in the local Otago Rally.

 It was going really well until 30km into stage 1, when a small mistake led to Mikko and his driver getting stuck off the road. Due to missing the next stage they were unfortunately disqualified out of the overall results.

The crew got the car back out and finished all the other 13 stages over the weekend setting the 3rd quickest pace in their classic car class, and spraying some gravel in the process.

Getting out there and having fun was their main goal and they did that, building confidence for their South Island rally season. Although they were out of the results there were still smiles everywhere, giving the crowds something to cheer about. They now look ahead to their next rally which is based in Christchurch.
