North’s Rachael Tucker, Miss Earth New Zealand 2004, will be navigating
for prominent Christchurch motoring journalist Brian Cowan in a Toyota
Prius electric-petrol hybrid. Accompanying Race to the Sky promoter Grant
Aitken in a Honda Civic petrol-electric hybrid will be Nadia Goldbert of
Rotorua, Miss Tourism World 2004.
The Miss World New Zealand contest has been split
this year to produce two winners, each of whom will travel to different
contests overseas. “It’s great for EnergyWise Rally 2004 to be able to
gain the participation of both young ladies, as it will add to the image
of the event as well as giving them the chance to contribute to something
which will raise the public profile of the motorist’s role in conserving
energy,” said event orgniser Graeme Barlow. “They will also have the
chance to meet and socialise with a number of prominent sportspeople,
media personalities and community leaders who will also be involved in the
event.”
Both the Toyota Prius and Honda Civic Hybrid are
potential winners of the 1619 kilometre drive.
