Round 3 of the 2012 FIA Asia Pacific Rally "International Rally of Queensland" is scheduled to take place this week.

The PROTON R3 CUSCO Rally Team had missed the previous bout but will be planning to participate in full force with its original members from the season opener. The team will once again pilot three Proton Satria Neo machines.

The Junior cup title holder Team Akira Bamba and Takahiro Yasui experienced a hearbreaking forfeit at the first round, and will be battling against their teammate/rival Karamjit Singh in the 2WD Class.
