Competing in New Zealand is something that’s on every rally driver’s bucket list – certainly that’s the case for five-time world rally winner Kris Meeke and double American champion Brandon Semenuk. These two adrenaline junkies have traveled to the South Island this week to take part in the Central Machine Hire Otago Rally based in Dunedin. Before the action commenced, we took the opportunity to sit the pair down to talk cars, bikes, Guinness… and what makes Kris Meeke’s hair stand on end. On this bonus edition of SPIN, The Rally Pod (which you can also watch) the duo let David Evans into their world for a fascinating insight into competing on some of the most fearsome roads – and trails – on earth.

With Otago Rally taking place in New Zealand this weekend and an important WRC Commission just concluded, there’s lots to digest on this week’s edition of SPIN, The Rally Pod. New Zealand’s South Island is sometimes in the shadow of its World Rally Championship-hosting northern neighbor but its roads have their own character and are just as spectacular. Colin Clark and David Evans discuss what draws folk from all over the world to the wonderful city of Dunedin for the event. The pair also ponder the future of the WRC, where many key suggestions from the FIA’s working group have been overshadowed by the debate over technical regulations, while the European and British Rally Championship’s season-openers are further topics covered on the pod.
