For episode 76 of the Flatirons Syndicate Motorsports Podcast, Jon and Tasso talk with Preston Osborn, the Competition Director of the American Rally Association. 2022 is all ready off to a fantastic start for the ARA. Most of the Rally's that have opened registration so far this year have not only had good attendance, but have in fact sold out. And fairly quickly too. It seems like a lot of people have been working on and building rally cars in the last couple of years, and this has brought a lot of new cars and new faces to the ARA events. And there are still a lot of familiar faces too. But this year, there is a new development in the top class of cars. The WRC implemented a completely new rule set for their unlimited cars, which requires a hybrid drive train. This has opened the door for a few people (Ken Block most notably, but also Barry McKenna as of 2021) to bring in a recently retired previous generation of WRC car to compete in the ARA. So are WRC cars about to take over the ARA open class? We talk about that and the future of the ARA with Preston. Thanks for listening and Stay Tuned!

Usually Te Papa's exhibitions are months, if not years, in the planning - but it had just weeks to bring together a large-scale exhibition allowing people to get up close to award winning World of Wearable Art garments. It's taken a team of 40, including WOW staff, technical experts and installers working right up to this weekend's official opening. WoW was cancelled in 2020, a big financial and cultural loss for Wellington, so the exhibition WOW Close UP is a kind of bridge to the next show, scheduled for 2021. A big effort's gone into the presentation of the selected garments, with a massive lighting rig and moving images on the gallery walls. Creating that feeling of walking into a stage spectacular is Stephen Blackburn - while Heather Palmer is WOW's Competition Director who's been with the event since day one.
