TARGA CHAMPIONSHIP WIN FOR TMR’S EVANS
RALLIMAX drivers Max Williams and Bruce Bush have finished 4th Outright in the 2012 Targa Tasmania driving a TMR built and prepared SST transmission Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X.
The TMR Team had 14 competing cars, a crew of 10 people, a championship victory on the line and came a raft of pressures which the team once again took in its stride with another 100% finishing record.
Dean Evans and his TMR run Hankook EVO X won the 4WD Showroom Class of the 2012 Targa Championship after securing second place in the 4WD Showroom class ahead of TMR stablemate Scott Millar in a similar TMR run EVO X making it a TMR 1-2 result.
The overall event was a resounding success for TMR with the introduction of some new technologies assisting in the continual development of the cars for greater speed, handling and reliability.
“We had some new tricky clutch bits in the SST transmission fitted to the Williams/Bush car which we have developed in conjunction with a New Zealand company, Dodsons Motorsport.. The SST transmission is now a very effective tool in this application and I have no doubt assisted in the Williams/Bush car getting the results it did, said TMR Boss, Alan Heaphy
“Our ongoing relationship with Ohlins was very successful, we had Dean Evans in his Evo X RS win the Show Room 4 Wheel Drive Championship, Max Williams with Bruce Bush Evo X finish 4th outright, Peter Wrench Evo X win the Novice Rally Section outright and Alan Evan Evo X change onto the Ohlins package mid event which transformed the handling of his car. The package is not expensive and very easy to work with straight out of the box so as a showroom spec system they are very very good.” he continued.
In all the world famous event attracted well over 200 competitors across 11 classes with the overall event being won by the Lamborghini Gallardo of locals Jason and John White.
TMR’s entire crew of 10 people were on hand in Tasmania throughout the entire event servicing all 14 vehicles as required keeping them all in full competitive condition. Once again the team secured an enviable results with all 14 cars finishing the event marking yet another successful event for TMR.
