Opposite lock and flames shooting out the back

Yes it's Targa Tasmania time again and what a welcome. It was 25c at home when I left home and when I got off the plane in Launceston it was 9c, raining and blowing a gale! Still when the clouds cleared the snow on the mountains was pretty.

I'm shooting for Mazda again this year and we have a 3 car team with 2 Mazda 3MPS' and an RX8 SP Turbo. The Rx8 is being driven by Steve Glenney who won last year in an EVO. Be interesting to see how he goes in the 2wd RX8. I must say it looks pretty too, same colour as the snow.

Not so pretty was Jason White in his Lambo Gallardo although he was spectacular in full opposite lock and flames shooting out the back at media day today. When you see how careful (re.obssesive) some teams are with their cars and then Jason who drives out to Symmons Plains, thrashes it and then drives home it makes you appreciate just how tough that Lambo is. The action starts tomorrow with the prologue at Georgetown so check back for more updates as the week goes on.
