When you build a car like that there are always going to be a few problems. When it’s going it is just an incredible car to drive, and the spectators just love it.We may decide to run the RX7 at the Otago Classic, but this will depend on what our final decision on the rounds that we are going to do. RSM: Who will be co-driving for you? MvK: Dave Neill again. After all these years we know what to expect from each other and have a proven formula.

Obviously with the new car in 2017 we were a bit slow at the beginning and had a few mechanical failures. But with every rally and some changes to the car I feel it is ready to start achieving this. It’s also great to beat as many 4WDs as possible!
Marcus van Klink is hoping to contest Targa New Zealand in his Citroen C3 Super 1600 in 2018.
The main NZ Targa will be very tempting this year as it’s in the South Island, and I haven’t ruled out the Silver Fern Rally in the RX7.If I decide not to contest the NZRC I think the Silver Fern and Targa will be on the cards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApqkW07apno
