Sorry, no. Best of luck though - and have a great time!

Cheers mate; should be interesting heading up North for a few days, particularly with a new untested car!

What are you driving! Last time I watched they were doing a leg I raced in my mr2 and so many of them were soooooooo slow. The kinda slow where apexing is not needed because you'd take the bend faster in a corolla on the way to work, I was all over the road holding it together when I did the road and it was hella fun.

We've parked up the GT3 we ran last year and have built up a 135i BMW, it's been one hell of a rush (as allways) so day one will be interesting. Sounds like you should be entering in your Corolla to put the GT-R35's in their place!

Lol if I had the cash I would, the best things to watch used to be little crappy fwds cause they were actually pushing it to keep up. I think there were a bunch of peugeot 205! (some little boxy things) that were pretty good one year.

sr2, Oct 20, 7:51pm
Those little Pug's can still be surprisingly fast for their age on the right piece of road, the Peugeot guys always have a great time running a race within a race. I??

Not enough gravel in it for me ;)

Why does car 835 have a lower race weight than 811 & 859 !
Is that due to driver/codriver weight or faulty scales !

Shhhh.!

Good luck mate

sr2, Oct 21, 1:16pm
LOL, with an untested car you might be right!

rob_rooster, Oct 21, 1:25pm
Best of luck, love those cars!

We are still scrambling with last minute details.Almost done though - thank goodness!

sr2, Oct 21, 7:05pm
Hang in there mate, I've got to fit the Rt, the intercom, the fire extinguisher and build a footrest and I'm done.

I believe documentation and scrutineering is down at the viaduct/Wynyard Quarter car park Monday afternoon from 3pm (Labour Day) so a good opportunity for the fans suffering a hangover from Sunday night, to wander around and see the cars before they head north west from 7:45am Tuesday.

Special stage 1 is Waitakere way and SS2 on the way to Helensville.

Pity the older cars don't seem to be supporting Targa these days.

sr2, Oct 22, 6:45am
Yes it is a shame there are fewer older classics. Targa has just got so much harder and faster over the last ten years; it??

mgmad, Jan 10, 10:49pm
It all still comes down to preparation though, be it a classic or a modern. Look at the Silver Fern, twice as much special stage, all gravel, and nearly all classics.
