The Central Energy Trust Arena 1.44km.

A Super Special Stage with a twist.

Part Speedway oval with a touch of Gymkhana tarmac around obstacles.

Turn it up for the fans, but don’t put it in the wall.

You’ll be against the clock….and another rally car. 

First thing and in the dark!

Short sharp flowing stage starting on a long downhill section.

Watch for the valley drops to the right.

Well maintained road with a firm well aged base.

Some loose gravel on top that will sweep quickly.

Perfect warm up for the day ahead.

Still in the Dark.

This is a pure county road valley stage.

Pretty pacey initially and has a couple of tighter sections around some bluffs.

Opens out towards the end of the stage.

Again a beautifully maintained classic county road that many will enjoy.

Daylight should have arrived.

This stage is a classic Daybreaker stage, tight, switchback after switchback.

Technical and precision driving required to obtain a good stage time here.

Does start to open out faster towards the last third of the stage.

Still has a fantastic flowing nature though and will be a challenge.

One of two long stages of the event, with a good strategy it will benefit those well planned. 

Back as part of the Daybreaker from 2023.

Open from the start leading to a tight and narrow uphill to top of the ridge.

Very tight left hander hairpin, cautioned as you don’t want to go wide, then fast downhill to finish.

Hard gravel base.

First of the repeat stages for 2024 Daybreaker.

The most rewarding and flowing stage of the event.

For those who did 2023 Daybreaker, you will recognize the first 23km before turning onto Peep-O-Day Road.

Classic rally roads with very good rhythm and at times a changeable base with stretches of tarmac dotted to adjoining roads.

Some really good pace in here with the odd switchback to keep ya honest.

Finishing on a road used many years ago by the Daybreaker – Peep-O-Day Road.

The second of this year’s repeat stages and one that was run in 2023.

A Driver’s favorite! Short, sharp with fantastic flow.

Pinpoint accuracy will reward the brave here.

Can be slippery when wet though.

A change to this year’s run with a left at the popular Spectator Point rather than the hairpin right.

SS7 is the warm up stage for what will be the Power Stage as SS9.

The ‘infamous’ Daybreaker Rally Ridge Road is back and it is full length this year.

Part of this stage was run in 2023 as ‘Te Awa’ but this time it’s Ridge Road for real!

Plenty of action in here with a multitude of switchbacks and crests all running on a narrow ridge the entire length of the stage.

A sharp eye will pick up “Joe’s Crest” from Legacy days.

Another stage that a well thought strategy will prosper.

Finishes on a long downhill flowing out to Pohangina Village.

You’ve had a practice run on Friday evening, now is the time to put on a show for the fans!

Keep a clean run here but pull the numbers and move the car around.

Time to showcase our sport to the many spectators that have come to watch the spectacle.

Enjoy, but make sure you get to the Finish! 

Being run in Reverse Running Order.
