Dunlop tyres have once again demonstrated their superior performance in the most grueling 6-day competition on the Australian calendar: Targa Tasmania.

Matt Close has won Targa Tasmania for the first time, winning the 25th anniversary event by an emphatic margin of six minutes and 41 seconds in the premier GT2 class.

In the GT4 competition, Steve Glenney was dominant until the very end, running away with an easy three minute and 16 second win in his Subaru WRX STI over the pre-event favourite, Tony Quinn in a Lamborghini.

Alan Roe and Michael Lloyd have suffered the ultimate heartbreak, retiring from Targa Tasmania on the 37th of 38 stages.

Jon and Gina Siddins have comprehensively won the Shannons Classic GT competition in their 1970 Datsun 240Z.
