Richards and Oliver

Dunlop tyres have continued their control of tarmac rallying with a complete domination of the Lake Mountain Sprint, held May 12th & 13th.

The veteran pairing of Jim Richards and Barry Oliver, driving their 2007 Porsche GT3 RS were the outright winners. Jim & Barry finished 41 seconds ahead of Lake Mountain regulars Neville & Michelle Shears in their Mitsubishi EVO 6.5 TME. In third place overall, and another 18 seconds behind was another sprint series regular and husband and wife pairing, Drew & Georgie Jorgensen in their Nissan Skyline GTR. All 3 cars used the new DUNLOP DZ03G.

Not only did these leading three cars use the dominant rubber, but the following 6 cars did as well. In fact 60% of the entire field chose the Dunlop product.
