It also sounds awesome!

Well Day 1 and 2 are over and it's still very tight among the modern class in this years Targa Tasmania. With 2 Lamborghini's, a Porsche and a GTR making up the top 4. I will stick my neck out and tip Tony Quinn in his Nissan GTR to win especially if starts to rain. The thing is a monster just hope Quinny can keep it on the road.

The 2 Lambos have been spectacular with flames shooting out the back and very quick. As I am shooting for Mazda again I was pretty pleased to catch the RX9 of Steve Glenney with some flames too. You can see my images on Mazdas website. www.mazda.com.au and look for the link to Targa bottom right of the page.

There are some fabulous classics that have made the trip down to Tassie but the pick has to be the 1960 Porsche 356B Carrera Arbath. Its one of only 21 made and is driven by Klaus Bischoff director of the Porsche museum in Stuttgart. The car won the world championship in its class 3 times and the Targa Florio in 1962. Plus it also sounds awesome!

And yes it's cold in Tassie! As we were heading up to shoot on the famous Sideling stage early this morning it was -2c. Very chilly but when the sun came out it was not bad at all but this afternoon in Longford it was bloody freezing. I'm just thawing out now 2 hours later.
