First home were Hayden Paddon and co-driver Jared Hudson in a Hyundai i20 AP4, who finished 4min 20sec ahead of second-placed Ben Hunt and Tony Rawston in their Skoda Fabia Rally2 evo

South Canterbury Car Club rally secretary Howard Atwill claimed Paddon’s win as a home victory.

‘‘He does live in Wanaka now but he’s still a member of the South Canterbury Car Club,’’ he said.

While Hunt hails from Nelson, Rawston also has South Canterbury roots, having grown up in Timaru.

Ten other competitors spread across seven cars were local in the field of 87 registered cars.

Eighty-four cars started and 66 finished.

There were no major casualties in the event, which ended at Levels Raceway and was followed by a presentation dinner at Caroline Bay Hall.
