The Targa Rally can be a win-win for motor sport fans and the local communities who host it, says Maihiihi Primary School deputy principal Katie Robinson. The Labour Weekend timing didn’t work in Waitomo district where road closure applications were declined – but it did work in the Otorohaga district. While organising a team of 18 volunteer marshals from the school, Robinson said the school appreciated the opportunity to both serve a community event and generate some much-needed income.
