The Hyundai i30 wins its class of the Targa rally. It won 3rd place overall in its Modern Challenge catagory with 10 competitors. The only 2 cars that beat it was the Nissan GTR 35 and the Audi S4. In its class it seems like there was only 1 other competitor which was a Holden so its not that big of a deal I guess. Has anyone heard of the Targa rally? I've never heard of it and I have no idea what the race was but anyway still good news for Hyundai.
"Well, after completing all 30 stages the i30 SX CRDi Green Diesel production car cruised to win its class running consistently through them all and winning the SS4 Kalamunda stage.
In the end the i30 SX CRDi Green Diesel finished 3 minutes 49 seconds ahead of the Holden Cruze CD Ti to clinch the class trophy.
The ‘Modern Challenge’ category saw a total of 10 competitors which included performance cars such as the Nissan GTR 35, Audi S4, Volkswagen Golf R32, Ferrari 575M GTC and the i30’s class competitor Holden Cruze CD Ti."
