Mitsubishis have dominated the 4WD Showroom competition at last weekend’s Targa High Country, in Hobart, Tasmania, with TMR’s team taking out second and third in class, and moving into first and second in the 2012 4WD Showroom Australian Targa Championship.
Sponsored by TMR Performance, the 4WD Showroom class was an all-Mitsubishi podium with Hobart local Eddie Maguire taking the win in his Evo IX RS, ahead of the two TMR factory run cars of Dean Evans/Zoey Gillis (Evo X MR) and Scott Millar/Christopher Dean, (Evo X RS).
Following similar results round one of the three-round championship at Targa High Country in November, they move into first and second place of the 2012 4WD Showroom championship.
As part of a six-car TMR team, Barrie Smith was the highest placed in the outright Modern class, finishing a strong ninth in his Evolution X MR.
The third and final round of the Australian Targa Championship is in April, for the 21st Targa Tasmania, where double-points are on offer. TMR Boss Alan Heaphy is confident his team will field cars capable of victory.
“For Targa Tasmania we’re planning a few changes including some car upgrades and a little more development. The drivers and navigators are all up to speed but need to continue the focus for the event duration so we’re very confident 2012 is going to bring home victory.” said Heaphy.
