Brendo ready for Targa Tasmania

Brendo and Rhianon have completed their recce for Targa Tasmania and are looking forward to starting the event tomorrow.

After covering around 6,000 kilometres in the last few days, their reconaissance included writing pace notes for 39 stages of the event.

Brendo was very happy with their recce, and was especially pleased that they were able to cover some of the course in the rain.  With light showers forecast for tomorrow, and more showers predicted later in the week, it was a good opportunity to drive some of the roads in wet conditions.

Targa Tasmania commences tomorrow with a Prologue to be held in George Town.  The five kilometre street stage is used to determine the starting position of cars in the rally proper which gets underway on Wednesday.

"It is very important for us to have a good, fast run tomorrow and set up a good starting position for the rally," Brendo said.  "The stage will be quite tricky, with roundabouts and gutters to manoeuvre. We'll also be running on 'green' tyres so we will need to be really careful."

Brendo and Rhianon will drive a Mazda 3 MPS backed by Mazda Motorsport in Targa Tasmania.  We'll have daily updates on Brendo's progress - please check back for all the latest news.
