Proton scored the perfect result in New Zealand as their Satria Neo's finished first and second in the FIA Asia Pacific Rally Championship category, propelling Australian driver Chris Atkinson into the lead of the drivers title with team-mate Alister McRae second.

It was a dominate win with Atkinson winning the Rally of Whangarei outright and all their main rivals crashing. Proton now also lead the manufacturers and teams points race.
