Just read an article of an independant test of the new GT2 in the wet, absolutely awesome, and also a 7.32 at the ring. As the mag says, the Gt2 requires skill and aptitude to drive it hard BUt with the GTR R35 all you need is somebody in the drivers seat. Its going to be Richo for 08 without a doubt. Still , you can have 3 x R35s for the price of a GT2 !!!!

R35 at 1800kilos for Targa in M1 class. Lets see thats like a GT3RS with an EXTRA 5 passengers on board or like a GT2 with an EXTRA 3 passengers. Or like an EVO IX with an extra 4 passengers. R35 is a great car and a fantastic track day weapon BUT the greatest enemy of an endurance event is weight. Better pray for rain guys !!!!!! Also remember 2005 ,many many all wheel drive cars came off in the wet. Or 2006 when the all wheel drive cars all ran out of rubber with a dry rally and none of them weighed anyware near 1800ks. I will put my money on a dry rally and a Richards 997 GT2 or a Glenny driven EVO. If Steve Jones was in the WA black R35 as he will be in Targa West I would place him easily in the top 10 But not this year in TT we will have to wait till next year. Lets look forward to a safe enjoyable TT.
