News & Info » May-2009 Devenish Wins Adelaide Hills Tarmac Rally

The Adelaide Hills Tarmac Rally, first round of the SA Rally Championship, has been won by Rob Devenish and Lyn Carr from Victoria in a Datsun 280Z, on DUNLOP tyres of course. Rob used the dominant DZ03G tyres in a new special compound to dominate in both dry and wet conditions.

Coming home in second place were 2 times SA Rally Champion Matt Selley and co-driver Claire Ryan in a Subaru WRX Sti. 

In 3rd place were Craig Fox and Naomi Tillet in their Subaru WRX, also on the DUNLOP rubber.

The day two field was diminished by a high attrition rate on day one, with 14 teams not making it to the end of stage 10.  A further 7 competitors didn't finish on day two, with mechanical failure being the most common cause of DNF's over the weekend.
