Well, we came, we saw, we rolled :(

The trip started off good, although being a different car there was a lot of learning to be had by both Paul and myself. The car was different. Pretty quick (it WAS a GTR!), but very very laggy. The point-and-shoot stages like the prologue really didn't suit the car, and in fact we weren't all that quick at all through the prologue, coming in somewhere around 25th or so. Tyres were a different choice (Kumho hard compound), and while they had heaps of grip, we were a little underwhelmed with them...

Day 1 was totally awesome, and we got a whole lot quicker as we learnt the car and got used to it. I was using different notes to what I was used to, and that combined with the much faster car gave me a few issues with the calls, which was really frustrating me. Still, I tried my best and things slowly fell into place...

Kept meaning to blog about this earlier, but haven't had a chance. Anyway, it's late now and I've got to wake up in less than 5 hours, so it'll be a quick one.

I'm going to Targa Tasmania 2009!!! Back with Paul Bergmann (my driver last year in the little Ford Escort), but this time in nothing less than a bright orange and purple 1995 Skyline GTR :D

I'm so excited :D
