Standings:

Pure Tasmania Modern

2. Buggee / Freame
3. Dunkley / Parker

Pure Tasmania Showroom 2WD
1. McRae / Stewart
2. Buggee / Freame
3. Dunkley / Parker

Congratulations to Team Mazda!

Mazda brings their Mazdaspeed3 to the 8th Annual Targa Tasmania Rally. A far cry from the Mazda2 Rally Edition shown previously on our site, The Mazda3 MPS (as it’s known down-unda’) will trounce through Tasmania’s outback from April 15th through the 20th, over 2000 kilometers! The excursion will be lead by drivers Rick Bates and Alister McRae, who have a lot to live up to after 2007′s successful run by Melinda Both and Samantha Stevens. Maybe a little battle of the sexes will rev-up participants’ engines. Good Luck Team Mazda!
