Rally partnership continues

The Brian Green Property Group has signed a deal to remain the naming rights partner of the New Zealand Rally Championship (NZRC) in 2026.

The company has backed the competition since Rally New Zealand took over as promoters and the latest agreement extends their partnership to 15 years.

Blair Bartels, championship co-ordinator, says Rally NZ is thrilled to receive the group’s backing for another year.

“They have been loyal sponsors of the championship for 15 years, which is a remarkable achievement when you consider the changing and difficult economic times we now operate in,” he adds.

“We cannot thank Brian and his team enough for their ongoing and passionate support of the championship.”

“This partnership is one of the longest tenured agreements in New Zealand sport and we are very grateful of that support.”

The 2025 championship has two rounds remaining, Rally Bay of Plenty on October 11 and the International Rally of Whangarei on November 7-9.

Organisers are still working on the 2026 calendar but expect to release details in the coming weeks.
