Bio: Realising his aim of getting back to top-level competition, Brookby’s Mark Tapper returns to four-wheel drive action. Running with the very experienced Rally Drive New Zealand team, Mark will again balance the championship by turning out for Mitsubishi. First kiwi home at the 2005 Rally New Zealand has been the highlight of his career to date – including several off-shore stints. Debuting the Ford Fiesta to New Zealand Mark will again be joined by Auckland’s Jeff Cress fulfilling co-driver duties. Initially planning to win events, Mark says having fun is equally as important too.
