Oops!

Have a look at the photos from the second day.

Maybe they should have fitted the rear wing!!

Shouldnt say that...Itll probably happen to me!

Nice to see though. I'd like to see it do better than 26th though...has superior handling, balance and should have a competetive power/weight...

The weather on day 2 looked awful.

Nasty end to day 2 for the blue car:

However, there still appears to be another GTR in the race:

The poor chaps who crashed (car 905) were Peter Hobson (driver) and Doug Fernie (navigator).

Car 949 is driven by Guy Bedington and Peter Svensson (navigator).This Guys 8 th Targa Tasmania (and hes driven at least a couple of them in an Ultima) so hopefully he show everyone what the car is capable of.

I remember seeing the Targa on TV the last few years...channel 11? (fox sports). Can anyone remember when they show it?

Nice selection of cars in Nation's Cup this year. Wouldn't mind seeing the NSX this year, didn't have a chance last year. Is the vette a Z06 (haven't seen it yet). I missed the first race, caught the one down in tassie. Missing a few names there...

Also wouldn't mind having that 427 in my future Ultima....
