They are all looking good after the first full day
RX8 second in class 5th overall. Well that is how I am reading it.
MPS 3rd in class and first 2wd in class.
The orange is meant to be very good on the move. Well that is what I was told. I have to wait and see.

even the old BK diesel 3 sedan is doing well......

Stuck!
We'll make this our official thread!

That is a great report. It will be interesting to see how Luke holds up over the week.
There are also earlier reports leading up to Targa here YouTube - zoomzoom's Channel
After day 2 RX8 second and MPS 3rd in class.
On a side note I was surprise to find out that all the crew are Mazda employees. Not from a race team. I think they mainly come from the workshop that Mazda run at head office but there are a coupe of others including Luke.
If you have not checked out Mazda website for the event you should at Mazda Motorsport Australia | Zoom-Zoom It would one of the best I have seen (covering an event)

and in the modern rookie class a mighty little 2 is trying to do its best against more powerful cars...

How cute !!!!!
Look at that road behind it, I am so wanting to go for a drive in Tasmania.
Team Green, how is the 2 going?

The 2 is sitting back in the middle of the class as its up against Supras and Porsches....
