Queenslander Tony Quinn, driving a Nissan GTR, has run out a comfortable six-minute winner of the Modern section of Targa Tasmania after his major rival, overnight leader Kevin Weeks, crashed out of contention on the second stage of the final day.

It is the 51-year old's first victory from 11 starts in the six-day tarmac classic, with second and third positions going to Burnie drivers Jason White in a Lamborghini, and Jamie Vandenberg in a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 9.

Victorian Rex Broadbent has made it a hat-trick of wins in the Classic category, taking his 1974 Porsche 911 RS to a clear win over the similar car of Bill Pye, with early pace-setter Ben Wooster third in a 1990 Nissan Skyline GTS. Rex's total domination over rival Bill Pye was demonstrated in the 4 wet stages on day 4 when he picked up 2 and a half minutes.

Greg Johnston has given Tasmania a home win in the Showroom class, easily defeating the similar Lancer Evo 9 of 2008 champion Tony Warren, with Brendan Reeves third in his Mazda 3 MPS.

All these three major class winners used the ubiquitous DUNLOP tyres. In addition, Rookie Modern, Early Classic, Late Classic and Early Modern classes were won on DUNLOP.

In all, 8 of the top 10 cars used DUNLOP tyres, as did 55% of the entire Modern field (13% Kumho, 11% Toyo, 8% Bridgestone, 5% Yokohama 3% Pirelli etc).

The table of winners below shows the true domination of DUNLOP, whatever the class:
