It was an unfortunate finish to the day for Luke Anear and Andy Sarandis in the 2018 Mercedes-Benz GT R who encountered a mechanical problem close to the finish of the final stage.

Thanks for joining us for what was a highly entertaining opening to TARGA High Country.

Many tight battles are emerging with the action set to continue across the weekend.

Enjoy your evening and we hope to see you back here tomorrow when High Country resumes in Victoria’s alps
