Status | Description |
| 1 | Trass Valley 1 | 31.5kms | 08:55 | Completed | The same as SS7 last year. Starts in the valley floor and heads uphill through recently logged areas. At the top it joins back onto the main arterial forestry road for another taste of fast & furious action through to the top of the Spooners Range, to pass through the spectator area. The stage then heads west along rally roads used in the past with a couple of tight corners to narrow near the entry into Rabbit Gully, then out to the Motueka Valley. Great gravel roads with a good hard base with changing surfaces the last few kms |
| 2 | Ridge 14 1 | 25.14kms | 10:35 | Completed | Starts in at the top of Kerrs Hill, and very quickly links onto last years SS9 where the main arterial road leads some smooth fast hard based ridge roads, then into the down hill section, with the odd patch of pine needles. Near the finish, a high speed approach to a tight corner with some flowing zig-zags to finish with. This stage is a drivers dream, flowing corners with a wide downhill section, and hard surfaces. |
| 3 | Biggs/Spooners Top 1 | 15.34kms | 11:15 | Completed | A short drive from the end of SS9. Starts on a gentle uphill and climbs to more fast ridge roads. Passing last years spectator area, and then a short blast along a wide fast ridge. Most of this stage is in open forests. Another good hard based road with a few corners to slow you down. |
| 4 | Trass Valley 2 | 31.5kms | 11:50 | Completed | A repeat of SS1 |
| 5 | Ridge 14 2 | 25.14kms | 13:40 | Completed | A repeat of SS2 |
