Bruce Garland D-MAX third overall and Di Lallo MU-X leading class after first Australasian Safari competitive stages.
Isuzu Motorsports’ Bruce Garland and Harry Suzuki sit third overall after yesterday's first three competitive stages of the 2014 Australasian Safari desert rally in Western Australia.
Garland and Suzuki, in their Dakar-spec Isuzu D-MAX, improved over the day to sit only 10 minutes behind the race leading Ford Ranger of John Purshouse and Murray Hynes when the field rolled into the bivouac for the overnight stop in Murchison.
Isuzu teammates Adrian De Lallo and Roger Pedersen had an even better time in their production-class MU-X finishing the day leading their class.
The Isuzu Motorsports Thailand entry of OLan Sornsirirat and Veerachai Thorangkoon finished the day 14th overall and second in class behind Di Lallo and Pedersen.
All three cars became more competitive as the day wore on.
The Garland/Suzuki D-MAX was only eighth fastest in the first stage of the day, but improved to finish fifth in the long second stage at Murchison River as well as the final stage at Murchison Oasis. Di Lallo and Pedersen started their rally with 14th in stage one, 10th in stage two and 7th in stage three.
The second day of competition involves two competitive stages at Bedracoine Find and Sonny Find as the field continues heading north from Murchison to Gascoyne Junction.
