Targa Tas 07

[PHaT MR30]

Just wondering who on this forum is running in this years event.

After 3 years or so working as an official on the sideline there is a fair chance im in this year navigating, just waiting on entry.

few questions i wouldn't mind asking:

Do navigators need gloves?

This year I need a NR licence, but my driver wants me to complete necessary training so that in the unlikely event he is unable to drive, I take his place. What additional things do I need to do? I have heard I might have to complete 2 club days/kahnacross, but the thing that concerns me is WHAT IF THERE ISN'T TWO BETWEEN NOW AND APRIL (or im unable to).

Anyway looking forward to being there, meeting some of you guys and having a ball.

ps if anyone needs a workshop over the week (in launceston), im sure my driver wouldn't mind opening his up.

Cheers

Tim

Navs don't need gloves, you'd never be able to turn the pages reliably.

I hope to get back this year, and am on the hunt for a spot in the silly seat (would love to get a gold plate). My driver has decided to start a family and amongst other commitments he is understandably not competing again.

With regard to your license, you can also do a couple of hours at a performance driving venue, like we did, at Holden Performance Driving at Yatala, Qld, I think? That gets around finding suitable events. (Bear in mind the driving test method must be approved by SCAMS, oops, CAMS.

Ahhh very cool, will be great to see a silvia out there!

Just took a look at the Rookie rallye, this is the first I've heard of it. Seems to be a good thing, especially compared to say Dutton rally.

[WogsRus]

Yeah that;s the one the rookie rallye, he is hoping to win his devition so that next year he can enter the real targa.

Yeh thats what we would effectively like to do, but rather that crash from going to quick, just enjoy it and have fun, there is always sponsors out there keen to support

Haha everyones says that!

I've been given a car from Lotus to drive in the Targa Classic Rally, we leave the start line an hour before the competition class.

I think it will be good practise for next year when i can get out there and do the real thing in the rookie class and then step up to the competitive class.

Hopefully meet some of you down there.

Duncan and Kel's Entry

Yellow, 6cyl, Turbocharged, 4WD, 4355cc

That can't be correct? 4.3 litre GT-R

Um, turbocharged vehicles are classified as larger capacity to allow a more even competition with NA vehicles.

[Beer Baron]

there is a multiplication rule that ensure a *level* playing field. they times your turbocharged capacity by 1.7. so 2.568 X 1.7 = 4.36
