The DNA Rallysport team of Declan Dwyer and Claire Ryan in their Mitsubishi Lancer Evo III have claimed a convincing win in both heats of the Scouts Rally of South Australia. The pair started the event in fine form on the Angaston Super Special stage posting an outright fastest time (.2 of a second faster than current ARC leader Simon Evans).

The leading female team in this year's Targa Tasmania tarmac rally has received a last-minute lifeline from forklift battery manufacturer Century Yuasa, allowing the girls to fight for the Early Modern win in this year's inaugural Australian Tarmac Championship.

Samantha Stevens, a motoring journalist from Sydney NSW, and her navigator Claire Ryan, an ICU nurse from South Australia, currently sit 13th outright and second in Early Modern in the championship going into the fourth and final round in the infamous Targa Tasmania road rally this week.

South Australians, Matt Selley and Claire Ryan, are ecstatic having finished 15th outright, 6th in Group N, 2nd Non-priority ( Privateer) and 2nd Australian crew at the 10th round of the 2009 World Rally Championship, Repco Rally Australia which was run in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales over the weekend.

Competing in their Possum Bourne Motorsport built 2003 Subaru Impreza Sti, the team was one of the much depleted field to complete the 35 special stages (totalling 344kms) and cross the podium on Sunday evening.

The Evans family has dominated the final leg of the 2008 Sprint Auto Parts Rally SA as both Simon and Eli Evans triumphed today in challenging, wet and extremely slippery conditions.

It was a day of domination from the Victorian-based family as Simon and Sue Evans powered their Toyota Corolla S2000 entry from Team TRD to the outright win whilst Simon’s younger brother Eli clinched heat two in stunning fashion this afternoon.
