Hey guys, Kinda forgot I had this build thread on here ha-ha. So anyway here goes an update: After the whole targa experience and assessing how expensive it was, I decided to go down another path with my Motorsport. Initially I had a time attack build planned but my favourite type of Motorsport is wheel to wheel racing so I changed plans yet again....... We are Going Sports Sedan Racing!!

We were in Early modern MS. Unfortunately the immense cost of the event has forced us to move to circuit orientated events, like WTAC I will be updating again shortly with how our new time attack build is coming along!!!

We blew through the first two stages on Day 1, cleaning both by a long way. We even made it onto the Targa Tasmania 2012 highlight reel for our handbrake turn after a slight navigation error caused us to go the wrong way at an intersection. However on the third stage we ran into problems when we started the car to line up.... we noticed a big puff of white smoke right after it fired...we thought it was one of the old GT's that fired up at the same time. Turned out it wasn't.... When I launched the car into the stage we left a massive loom of white smoke behind us... We couldn't stop so I just said we would attack the stage and see what happened. The smoke cleared slightly but the car was down on power the whole way. When we stopped at Sheffield for lunch a few other teams helped us diagnose the fault.....not good news. The turbo oil seal had disintegrated. Game Over. Our epic quest was cut short.

Today was the day.... Day 0 of Targa Tasmania, the prologue. We were nervous as we have ever been, due to our problems over the past few weeks we have done no recce at all and we only put the car together two days prior!!! Here goes nothing.... We lined up for our run at Lilydale which was the first stage to tackle on the day. Its amazing how many times you need to pee whilst waiting in cue to start your first ever tarmac rally stage.... Eventually we found ourselves at the line.... Thomas gives me a countdown and off we go!!! Wasn't the best of starts but who cares. At the end of the stage we couldn't contain ourselves. That was the best 2 minutes of our lives!! We eagerly made our way to George Town for one of the best known stages of the rally. We felt confident for this one, our lack of recce doesn't matter because pretty much every corner is 90 degrees.... We set a really good time on George Town which put us right where we wanted to be against our main rivals. We made sure we got a good night sleep in preparation for tomorrows racing!!!

It was finally time to go to scrutineering and park the car in the famous silver dome!! However, as per Last Minute Racing rules nothing went to plan. Our roll cage apparently wasn't quite up to scratch with the new regulations even thought the logbook had been signed off. So off to a very kind engineering shop just outside of Launceston who added the necessary pieces to the roll cage, then we got to join the other amazing machines!!! Our car seemed like a budget racer in comparison to some of the other cars.....probably because it is one Later that day we also volunteered to take place in the Charity rides for the sick kids. This was an amazing experience and it puts a smile on everybody's face when you see how happy the kids are after their ride in the car!!! Well worth the extra time and effort.

We eventually arrived at the port in Melbourne and took up pretty much every car space available After a good 3 hour wait we finally boarded the 'Spirit Of Tasmania' for what we thought would be a nice comfortable voyage to the little island. Let me give anyone who is thinking of taking the ferry to Tasmania a tip......DO NOT GET AN OCEAN RECLINER!! It is actually just a badly padded seat that doesn't recline enough to actually sleep.....think economy on a virgin flight. Anyway... We got some sleep and were in our car ready to go as they opened the doors on the ferry. We checked into our accommodation in Launceston Holiday Park and unloaded the car and our things. Before we left the car actually didn't run properly because the coil packs had decided the day before Targa Tasmania was a perfect time to give up. No one had series 2 Spitfires in stock so John at Trojan Motorsports actually got a set to meet us at our accommodation in Launceston!!! How's that for service! The next issue we faced was I had a small technicality with my L2 CAMS National Rally license. Basically I needed to do another OLT..... We protested and CAMS said I could just do a motorkhana.. So off we went to compete in a local motorkhana with a CAMS official looking on!! Coincidently we actually placed 3rd in this motorkhana and I only did half of the courses :S
