Its tarmac rally (targa) similar to targa tasmania except over here in west aus. Its usually a safe event with a lower avarage speed over the stages than targa tassie.
Funny weather here today too. Few light showers this morning and quite windy.

Brock rose to public attention in touring car racing, winning the Bathurst 1000, Australia's most prominent domestic motorsport event, a total of nine times through the 1970s and '80s. As the lead driver for the pseudo-factory Holden Dealer Team, in a succession of Holden Toranas and later Commodores the smooth-talking, clean-cut Brock became a household name well beyond motor racing fans, and was probably the best known modern Australian racing driver (Sir Jack Brabham being the most well known "classic" driver).
