APRC Heads to Tropical Island Paradise

This week the Asia Pacific Rally Championship moves to the tropical island paradise of New Caledonia.

While the island is known more as a holiday destination, the Rally of New Caledonia is one of the island’s biggest sporting events and for the drivers its hot and hard work as most of the event takes place away from the beaches in an  area known as Mont Creve Coeur,  translating to "Heart Killing' in English.
