7 year Porsche record broken.
Targa Tasmania Rally (Australia)
Driving a Subaru Impreza STI S202, Sydney rally driver Tony Sullens has beaten Porsche driver Jim Richards to win the 2000 KM event.
The 38-year-old from Gosford began today's final leg from Burnie to Hobart second overall, 18-secs behind Richards, driving through hail, rain and snow he went on to win by 1-min 16-secs. With the exception of a indiscretion with a guide post on the Mt Arrowsmith Stage, Sullens still was fastest and managed to pass over ten cars!
Ambient temperature today was only approximately 1 degree Celsius on most stages, and this worked in favour of the many turbo cars, the added complication of snow even better for 4wd models!
Tasmanians Jason and John White were second in a Nissan Skyline, followed by Queensland's Tony Quinn in a Porsche 911. Richards finished fourth.
