Was an official for 5 days and few years ago and it was a ball >| Got to drive some of the same roads, at legal road speeds :lolcry:, and they are a blast.

 

Cost and licensing conditions stopped me from pursuing the competing dream - that and a lack of a suitable car......

Serviced on the Auckland to Wellington one in NZ.. Some great cars turn up, we were running a worked 260Z and there were plenty of classics about the same age.

 

Hey if a Fiat Bambina can do it any car is suitable!

The Fiat 500 Abarth isn't the run of the mill Bambina..........

I work on Targa every year. Mainly the corporate stuff but still get to see a lot of action.

Also get some "Hot laps" at Symmons Plains every year. Really hoping I'll get a ride in a new GTR this year..... was supposed to last year and that guy never showed up so I got put in a Maloo ute. :wub:

 

We also have rollaclub cruises through Targa stages quite often. :D

I thought the VIP GTR was there last year but broke down due to the advanced computer in it throwing up too many codes.

Huh? Tony Quinn (VIP) WON last year!

 

I was supposed to be going in another one (ther was 3 or 4 racing last year) Somebody Jones from memory,

I didn't realise he got to finish the race, I didn't watch it so I thought only the one 35 was there.

Love the rides days. When the Australian Rally Championship was down in Tassie, we officialled a couple of times and on the media day the missus got a couple of hot laps around the super special stage down at DECA (?). I was on the otherside of the course so I was spitting chips!!!! Even worse was when she got a ride around Albert Park in a Porsche :wub:

 

TAZRX - ever come across Paul Darko while on Targa duty???

[KENut]

One of my lofty life ambitions is to drive in targa tas. Must be cool living down there :wub:

Will have to watch love the beast soon heh.

Also, its bambino isnt it?

[bLinded_]

Just downloaded and watched it.

 

 

Awesome movie. Thoroughly enjoyed it! :wub: Would like to see what happens with the car in the future.

Thats him. He won Targa West just before last years Targa Tas. Never rocked up to symmons for hot laps.

 

Col - Nah never met Paul Darko. What does he do for targa, drive or some sort of official etc.

I do all of the audio visual for the drivers breif, hot laps, media breifs and corporate bits and pieces as an event partner.

Personaly I think targa has gone a bit away from a rally.

Just how they do there timing, as its not as a real rally like rally tas,

its more suited so everyone thinks there going well even if there going shit kinda thing.

Entry fee is pretty big I think $7000? for modern.

I reckon WP targa would be the go all the roads are awesome down south, nice 2 day event, and pretty compact.

 

But it depends what you like, thats just my personal opinion
