Targa High Country 2017 - Day 2

Day 2 was a late start with an 11:07 report time for the Shelby team. Craig and Anthony were itching to get started and see what the day brings. With a perfect sunny day for a dry run down the hill into Mansfield, Mirimbah was the first competitive stage and the crew flew through this one in second fastest in GT2, and holding onto our second outright position in GT2 comp.

The following stages are fast and flowing, and these are where the Shelby stretches it legs and we see speeds of up to 250kph (156mph). Craig said on the stages out to lunch, “Anthony and I had a ball. The Shelby and crew have come together like clockwork.” The return afternoon stages are reverse of the morning runs, so there is some familiar terrain to back-track over. The boys ran better times than the morning run and completed the fast stages without a hassle.

The last stage of the day was the Mansfield street stage which is 4.2km of entertainment for the locals to see the competition cars up close. It is bit of fun, and the Shelby team completed the day 2nd outright in GT2 competition and third outright overall. Anthony was very happy with the day and really looking forward to tomorrow - he even got to be famous and sign plenty of the Shelby posters handed out to the Mustang Fans! A big thanks once again to Angryman for teh great action shots!

See you at the finish line tomorrow,
Craig.
