Targa Tas '08, Whos Running, Discussion Etc

[Marlin]

So, did everyone watch it? Probably one of the better coverages yet imo.

But;

Ummm, whats the go with still talking about the R35 on the Day 4 coverage as if it were still running?

[sav man]

Tassie viewers got shafted when's it on down here?

[blk180]

I saw marlin and sav mans cars as well as a few other skylines Black R2 Gtst and R33 GTR

[t01-100]

pretty cool hey... sctv production did an awesome job with the fades etc.

did it run with the interview from weeksie about the lambos hitting each other or did it get cut in time?

savman - i'll post up the tassie date, shouldn't be far.

[Marlin]

That wasn't me with an Evo 5 or 6 all over it's bum! I had three people ring and ask me what was holding me up! LOL

Stu, when's the DVD gonna be available (I'm assuming the tv telecast was a cut version?), it was a good production!

FYI, 7HD went crazy and dropped out for a minute or so when Mozz's fat guts were on show @ Prologue

Oh yes! LOL, it ran in alllll it's glory. "...... I didn't see the finish line" hahaha

wonder why he wouildn't have slowed when his nav said "Flying finish"??? hahahahaha

was is broadcast in HD???

[phunky_monkey]

Watched it yesterday, was a really nice production, the only complaint was that they probably could have shown more cars instead of using the same shot over and over a few times

[Marlin]

Yes, HD.

And I agree on the same shots being re-used. I would have thought that with the constant whinges from competitors who don't see their cars that NO footage would have been used twice for "filler".

[t01-100]

Marlin - Not sure of actual date yet, but would say mid/end-July.

phunky - your right repeted shots is frustrating, but time is always a problem as the production crew were stretched.

[sav man]

us povo tassie people get to see it 12:30 sunday

O that wasnt you holding the Evo up before a break then not sure if i sure your car then.

[Marlin]

Well sav, what'd you reckon?

[sav man]

super slowmo close up, can't complain! The doco was 100x better than last years (which IMO was the worst one ever)

is the dvd doco going to be differnt than the tv one? (like it was a few years ago)

would have liked to see weeks footage from paradice . We almost did the same, didn't see the FF or the flashing lights, the stopped cars were a give away though.

[t01-100]

dvd version will certainly be longer and will have the the extras like footage of everycar on from the crane cam.

[t01-100]

just watched the special features proof disc. pretty cool with 3 to 4 shots of each car in the field, plus a heap of incar and profiles from both classic and modern field.

there is also a summary of results and the nightly tv news packages from each day.

further to all that there is also a short profile on the r35 and an interview with driver tony alford, as well as full length incar of the fast harford stage.

will advise a release date shortly.

Whats with the sig Ben...

Have Evo Brembos but not sure ife the PCD of the mount is the same. Also DMS shox although your mates with Fulcrom aren't you.

You drive a "T" like the R34 and it will shake a lot up... And the RB20... you'll love em.

Good luck. PS Also have springs too lots of springs!

G'day Greggy!

I'm not sure whether Evo Brembos will bolt on? Maybe Brisby the 32 guru could chime in here? I found the car has a near new set of APEXi coil overs in it, which to my suprise actually feel like they'll be pretty good. Last weekend's test day at Winton showed it to have pretty good traction and was really fairly tidy all round. It even rode the curbs fairly well but I'm still interested to see how much travel it's actually using.

I'm really looking forward to getting it out onto a tarmac stage, I think a little 32 could really shake up a few if I can refrain from having too much fun and driving it sideways everywhere

Rex Broadbent is awefully quick though

Yeah, end of Day 1 2005 there was one sitting 13th outright.

GTS-t is one of the most forgiving, easy to drive fast cars you will ever sit in... I regret letting minego to that useless Rocket - just as the rules came round to suit them even more.

and to rub salt into the wound, he took a snap of us this year with the old girl in the back ground!

Not sure you will run with the RSR in the dry, but you'll hose him in the wet.

Anyhow, I'm all emmotional now...

Winton, what are you doing down there... I thought you were a Queenslander?

no the brembos do not bolt on unfortunately, you will need an adapter.

just run the g4s, you cant beat them for the price
