PR4: Change to calendar following cancellation of Far North Rally

Given the recent announcement postponing this year’s Far North Rally, the Winmax Brake Pads North Island Rally Series organisers have revised the original schedule of Events.

This also gives the North Island Rally Series the benefit of a better geographical spread and a wider variety of events”.
