Gold Coast based ASPNet Rally Team of Steve and Lorelle Tonna commence their 2010 season entering the Coffs Coast Rally in their Mitsubishi Lancer Evo V RS.
The Coffs Coast Rally is Round 3 of the Australian Rally Championship, taking place in the forests surrounding Coffs Harbour on May 14-16. The event will challenge crews with over 295 competitive km’s of forest and shire roads to the north of the city and a Super Special Stage and Rally Show at the Coffs Harbour Showgrounds.
Driver Steve Tonna is excited leading into the event, this being the first event contested by the team in 2010, their first event on the new Kumho control tyre and their first pace noted event since Repco Rally Australia last year.
“We’re looking forward to getting out there and having some fun this coming weekend, the event seems to really suit my driving style and the proven reliability of the Evo 5 for this endurance event should be an advantage” says Tonna.
“We carried out some testing towards the end of last year and made some changes to the front differential so we are looking forward to seeing how we perform again the other entrants in the Premier League class. We’ll use this event to see where we sit performance wise.”
Co-driver Lorelle Tonna commented “Perfect pace notes will be crucial to a good performance this weekend, with long and fast stages it will be essential to keep Steve focused and on the pace throughout the weekend.”
Steve and Lorelle are sponsored by ASPnet, StrataMax, Hinterland Smash Repairs, Cheesecake Motorsport Smash Repairs, Coast CV & Suspension, Chiptorque and would like to thank them for their ongoing support.
