News & Info » Feb-2010 Dunlop Second in Tasmania

South Australian Steve Glenney, has won the 2010 Rally Tasmania. Driving a Subaru Impreza WRX STI, Glenney and co-driver, Alan Stean, moved into the lead early on day three when overnight leader Jim Richards withdrew his Porsche 911 GT2 with major steering problems.

Reeves was ecstatic with his runner-up finish, just seven months after a massive crash that nearly ended the careers of he and his co-driving sister, Rhianon. "We've had another great day," Reeves said. "To just finish the event was the main goal, but to take second place and be on the pace again so quickly is really satisfying."

Burnie favourites Jamie and Simon Vandenberg brought their Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX home in third place, matching their result from the 2009 rally, much to the delight of local fans.

Simon Gillett was fourth in his Subaru Impreza WRX, ahead of West Australian Ben Searcy in a Mitsubishi. For Searcy, who normally sits on the other side of the car reading the pacenotes, it was a tremendous drive.

Four of these top 5 finishers used the dominant DUNLOP DZ03G, but not first place this time.
