Greg Murphy debuted<br />
the Barina AP4+ at the<br />
Leadfood Festival.<br />
Tasman, this is a genuine ground-up<br />
build, and the Barinas will need to be<br />
on the pace from the first round.<br />
Along with Holden, RDL Performance,<br />
which is part of the<br />
Marston family business Rubber<br />
Developments Limited, has put a<br />
massive amount of work in to produce<br />
some truly amazing cars.<br />
With more cars being built through<br />
the North and South Islands, at the<br />
start of the season there are likely to<br />
be around eight AP4 cars on the scene,<br />
and by the end of the year the numbers<br />
will be approaching 12.<br />
With two Holden team Barinas,<br />
two Toyotas, three Mazdas, a Suzuki,<br />
a Skoda, a Mitsubishi, a Ford Fiesta<br />
and a Volkswagen Polo already being<br />
completed, plus rumours of other<br />
manufacturers like Kia and Audi joining<br />
the fold, the AP4 class has reinvigorated<br />
the New Zealand Rally Championship.<br />
Josh admits that it’s a very exciting<br />
time to be involved in rallying.<br />
“I think it goes to show that Motor<br />
Sport NZ has got the formula right with<br />
this new class of car. We’ve received<br />
some really positive feedback from all<br />
over the world after we had our launch,<br />
which is very humbling,” he added.<br />
Forty-four year-old Murphy will not<br />
be on the starting line at the Rally<br />
of Otago, due to a conflict in his TV<br />
commitments for the Supercar series,<br />
however, for the remainder of the year,<br />
the racer will carry his trademark racing<br />
number #51, and will be co-driven by<br />
Mark Leonard.<br />
