Northtec student Richard Pawa is back in New Zealand exhausted after four days at the FIA Asia Pacific Rally Championship in Queensland.
"It was just massive," said Mr Pawa who was heavily involved with the event's media team, whose role involved talking to drivers and organising press conferences. He arrived home on Tuesday.
In his second year of a Bachelor of Applied Management, his involvement with the rally has inspired him to change his major from accounting to project management.
"It was just meeting new people and seeing the potential that project management can create ... it gave me another perspective on how two countries can host an event differently," Mr Pawa said.
"It was an opportunity to see something done differently and to make those comparisons."
