| Stage 3: | Peria |
| Distance: | 14.45kms |
| Starting: | Saturday @ 10:35 |
| Description: | A new stage in 2006, this is a classic drivers stage, flowing, windy, uphill and downhill with many corners that tighten more than you would first expect. Well cambered corners throughout, typical of many Northland Roads, and a couple of cautions thrown in for good measure, that will need to be respected. 5 minutes re-fuel only service, after stage. |
