We are deeply saddened to report that there has been a fatality at Targa Tasmania this morning.

We are currently working with the relevant authorities who will provide further information once next of kin have been advised.

Benji, I'm feeling for all of you down there mate. My condolences go out to the entire rallying community and loved ones. A sad day.

On the up side, you and Damo are having a great run mate. Keep up the excellent effort.

Say hi to all for me!

Devestating. Had dinner with John at Wrest Point back in Jan and can honestly say you would have trouble finding a truer gentleman.

Fingers crossed Tristan gets through the surgery unscathed.

Good speed today Ben, keep it up, we wanna see you beet that VW in front of you ;)

We are pretty happy with how it's all going ATM. I had no power steering for any of the proper stages this morning (spat the belt off), only got a replacement belt on at lunch for the last 2 stages.

Awesome first day Ben, especially given the power steer fail. GTST > GT3. Best of luck you you and the crew for the upcoming days.

Well my respect for Tony Quinn has gone up a long way after today's events.

Yesterday Tony and Naomi were canvassing other drivers for support in reducing speeds for saftey, and Tony said if there was another big accident he would head home.

Sure enough there was a big accident, and sure enough he has packed up and headed home. Good to see someone following through on talk when they beleive in it.

Very sad news indeed :(

Racing is racing however reducing speeds is not the answer, no one wants to travel all the way to Tasmania for a regularity.

Condolences to those involved.

P.S.

Good Work Sav Man and co, Win it for the Skylines !!!

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
