20th Anniversary of Targa - Targa Tasmania 2011

[swingn]

Hi All

My old man was lucky enough to be part of the Porsche Tour group for the 20th Anniversary of Targa Tasmania – Basically he got the drive the course but wasn’t technically “racing”… Although, word was the touring group got a talking to after they were found to be running faster the 50% of the actual race field

Any how, I thought I’d share some photos (PS - No that isn't damage to the front bar, it's contact to help protect it... Worked a treat!):

Thanks for pics Matt.

That's exactly what the wife and I want to do with Lucy! Be a part of the touring class (if that's what it's called?). We don't want go full role cage etc... Just be fun to do, and could you imagine a better way to tour/see Tasi???!!!

Can you please ask your Dad what is involved in taking part?

I'm also keen on doing it

My old man was part of the Porsche Touring group for their 60th B'day in Australia... So for him it was as simple as a quick little e-mail from Porsche, then just parting with the $$$

There was a normal touring group of approx 25 cars, but how they get involved etc, I have no idea... Will be doing a bit more looking into it as it would be a fantastic experience ... Just like doing Drive Bathurst, which may be on the cards for me this year

Ok, I'll do some digging too. I have some mates interested in helping me with a support car for rims/tyres and small amount of spares etc... I know it's a basic street catagory but it can't hurt being prepared. I'm super keen to get into this

Some very nice photos there, especially of them getting light You must have moved around the course a fair bit?

They had a professional photographer down there covering the event.
