Targa Newfoundland - Leg 5

Another Porsche has taken over the top spot on the Targa Newfoundland rankings.


As of the end of Leg 4 last night, the blue Porsche #510 was still in first place overall, but they picked up some serious penalty time in Stage 5-2 in Petite Forte this morning, dropping them to eighth overall by noon.


This allowed the green 1965 Porsche 911 (#304), driven by Michael Stoschek (Germany) and Philipp Spaeth (USA), to move into first overall by midday today.


The STILLEN GT-R is still in the number one spot in the Modern division, which of course also puts it in first place in its category and class.

Have to wait for the results of the rest of today's stages to see who will come out on top.

I believe that is a 5.7L Hemi V8.
This Charger appeared to be locked down by the police. That's a real car capture!
