I had to get off the throttle part way through, just couldn't see at all into the sun.

This rally has a 200km/h limit on top speed, similar to Quit Targa West but without GPS tracking it relies purely on the honour system. Our car still has a factory stock ECU with 180km speed limiter. With slightly larger tyres it soft cuts at about 190. We hit it on every one of the proper stages, only the town stages were under 190. I'm sure there are lots of drivers who don't look at their speedo at around 200 and would be surprised at how much over they had been going. It certainly surprised me twice each run on pump hill, on Big Brook Dam and even the tight twisty Kuranda how quickly we hit the limiter. On Gloucester it was a matter of keeping it just under for as long as you could. 15.52 km in just over 6 minutes (including chicanes)
