Fantastic result for Brendo in Targa Tasmania |
The remainder of the morning's stages were also wet, with the roads drying out after lunch as the cars headed towards Hobart.
In his first ever Targa, Brendo kept his head for the remainder of the day, and drove a mature race to finish on the podium. After five solid days of competition, it was a remarkable result for the 20 year old. He finished over seven minutes ahead of the fourth placed Mitsubishi Evo X of Millar/Dean.
"We've had a fantastic Targa," Brendo commented. "The car ran perfectly all week and I would like to thank all the team from Mazda Motorsport for giving me the opportunity to drive the Mazda3 MPS. It's a brilliant car, and Rhianon and I are rapt to finish on the podium."
Brendo and Rhianon will return to Melbourne tomorrow before flying to Brisbane on Tuesday for Rally Queensland.
