Ty Tessmann put down a clean Q2 run to set the fastest time of the day… Q2 belongs to the double ROAR Champion Ty Tessmann from Medicine Hat in Canada, driving the new HB D812 buggy, due for imminent release. We caught up with Ty in an interview and he was obviously delighted with the result and had a wry smile when questioned on the subject of overall TQ but is still looking ahead to Saturday. Kyle McBride of the Australasia gang in 6th, spurred on by his father Scott who coaches him we understand in Aborigine whilst he drives!
