Defending champions Richard and Sara Mason of Masterton will be wanting to make every post a winner in this weekend's third round of the New Zealand Rally Championship, mainly based in the Feilding area.
Absent from the line-up of 23 competitors are points leaders Haydon Paddon and John Kennard, who are in Europe contesting a precursor event to their 2013 world rally championship campaign.
Paddon sits on 62 points, 26 ahead of Mason who will be desperate to take full advantage of the chance to make up lost ground.
"We're really looking forward to the weekend. Essentially, it's a fresh event for the championship so it's new roads, and it's in the middle of winter so conditions will be different," said Mason.
