Battle of the Sexes for Mazda at Targa Rally

[MazdaEric]

This year's Targa Tasmania Rally will feature a partially stock (as Targa cars usually run) Mazdaspeed3 (Mazda3 MPS in Aussie Land) driven by Rick Bates and Alister McRae. Last year, it was Melinda Both and Samantha Stevens who drove for Mazda. Could this be Mazda's battle of the sexes?? Time to find out who is the better driver!

Allister McRae isn't related at all to a certain other McRae, is he? And that's interesting that they used an MS6 last year but went with MS3 this year.

They went with the MS3 bacause the MS6 is out of production.
