| Stage 2: | Mohaka Forest |
| Distance: | 21.44kms |
| Starting: | Saturday @ 08:18 |
| Description: | As used last year, Mohaka Forest starts with a good, solid surface with wide, fast and flowing main roads. The course then moves into tight and twisting secondary roads that climb to the top. A long down hill section that will test drivers' skills as the surrounding forest reduces visibility. Each change requires a change in rhythm. 20 kms of intense driving. |
