Rally New Zealand 1980

The Rally New Zealand in 1980, officially Motogard 11th Rally of New Zealand, was the 11th edition of the Rally New Zealand and the eighth round of the World Rally Championship in 1980 . It was the 83 rallies in the World Rally Championship organized by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). The start and finish took place in Auckland .

Timo Salonen grabbed his first victory with the team of Datsun . He led the event almost from start to finish, even though he had enough competition to Pentti Airikkalahowever, that the finish would not make, and Walter Röhrl, who eventually finished second and is thus stated in a seat to win the world title. Hannu Mikkola finished forMercedes as the third, but the disadvantage that it had at the end of his predecessors showed they were no competition in this type of rallies for the other teams.
