It was pretty awesome veiwing. I am hoping to get a screening of the skelta's incar when I am back in australia in June.
Weeks lambo will be back for the adelaide hill climb event in 2 weeks I think. Both those lambo's are sweet cars, but they seem to be so highly
tuned, that it always blows up. But it seems now that to enter targa and to win, you need to drive the full event like a circuit event. You will
either get in the top 5, crash or blow it up. If you try enough, chance says you will get a good result every now and then! Gone are the days of
driving 90% to make the finish, look where jimmy now finishes.
The TT RS was doing pretty well for a new car, wtih a serious lack of power compared to lambos. But then Matt is a excellent driver, he set really
good times when he used to run the 968, and then the Turbo.
Another interesting note, the EvoX had gb issues with the sst overheating on the longer stages later in the event.
Will be interesting to see what comes out next year... what the new car of choice is. the GTR seems to have gone of the most wanted list..
I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!
Go hard or go home!!!!

Yeah the SST needs a few 'tricks' to make it see the distance on long stages. I have developed a solution to this problem with my Evo X..........unfortunately they weren't used on Deans car.

Reckon the real thing beats that, even just 8 minutes of it!
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!
