Rain, rain, go away! Team AutoQuest reports a wet, soggy afternoon. However, with the new suspension, the Porsche GT3 RS hugged the road and driver Gavin Riches reports absolutely no altercations with either the rugged terrain or stray barnyard animals!The Rotorua Targa pumps almost $500,000 into this rural community. 170 teams make up a traveling entourage of 1500 plus people. And not only do local businesses benefit, the Targa infuses much needed revenue into non-profit sector by hiring schools as catering stops and car wash centers.
When Day 2 starts on (our) Saturday at 3pm, Team AutoQuest is hoping for sunny, dry weather. The route for the second day takes the drivers thru 10 stages (159km) stopping at Te Woutu School, Wharepapa School, Cambridge, Matamata and finishing back in Rotorua.
While the final score for Day 1 has Gavin and Steve in fifth place (something about a speeding ticket???), Radio NZ is reporting a gradual clearing in the weather for Sunday and everyone is ready for a big finish!
