Excellent start to Targa Tasmania for Brendan |
|
Day 1 of Targa Tasmania has been a good one for Brendan and Rhianon - they sit in third outright in their Mazda RX8 SP after eight stages of competition.
As expected, the pair 'cleaned' the first three stages of the day (completing them with no time lost) and that served as a good way to start getting re-acquainted with the RX8 SP. On the day's remaining five stages, Brendan consistently set top 5 stage times, and on SS7, he was only seven seconds behind stage winner and rally leader Jason White.
Brendan's quotes: Day 1 Targa Tasmania 2012 |
|
"This is only our second event in the car after our third place at Targa Wrest Point. Since then we've changed a couple of things to try and make the car suit me a little bit more. We've made it a bit softer in the suspension and changed the way the seat is situated in the car, and a few different things."
