Brendan's Blog - Off to Italy

Since our return from Rally Portugal, we haven't had much down time (but who's complaining!!). We had a couple of days at home in Wedderburn before heading off to Tassie for the annual Targa Tasmania where we competed again for Mazda Motorsport.

At the start of the five day event the Mazda Motorsport boss Allan Horsley had one piece of advice for us… we want a top 10 outright. So that was the goal. We pushed the little Mazda hard for five days and it did not fault. And come day five, and after over 500km of racing, we won the showroom class convincingly and finished an amazing fourth outright. This was the highest ever position for a showroom car and was a great finish for the Mazda team. I hinted at a bonus to the boss but I don’t think that will happen!!!

 

After Tassie, we had two weeks at home preparing from our next trip to Europe.  As you read this we are on our way to Sardinia in Italy (via London and a road trip from Brussels to Italy) for the second round of the WRC Academy, Rally Sardinia.  We'll arrive in Sardinia on Saturday and start our preparations for the rally which gets underway on Thursday. Make sure you check the website regularly for updates and photos from our trip.

We've also added a section in the photo gallery of supporters wearing their t-shirts, so check it out, and send in your photo, too!
