Targa Class To Be Part Of Gt Championship?

[Snowman]

A mate told me last night that published in the current issue of AutoAction that the Australian GT Championship has decided to take the "Targa Class" concept run at Symmonds Plains for the V8 round and incorperate it full time as a sub class in all their future rounds.

Basically we know guys like the Moslers etc have pulled out of the GT Championship so they are looking to increase field sizes - and also a few of the Targa guys (the Quinn's, Donut King guys, etc) run in this championship so perhaps they have had some influence on this decsion.

But I can't find anything anywhere to confirm it. But if it is true I tell you the chance to run the rounds at Bathurst and the Australian GP - FARK YEAH!

It really does open up the door to a new realistic racing catagory option for Skylines as a whole, even if they aren't interested in doing Targa.

That would be great to see if it does come to fruition. GT Championship is one of my favourite classes of motorsport, so it would be good to see some Targa class cars mixing it up in there and making for a bigger field.

It's my understanding that Targa Class is in no means aligned with Targa Tasmania. A little confusing I know, but the quick cars in Targa Class could never run in Targa Tas due to the fully sic wicked mods they have.

Regardless, it would be excellent to see targa class flourish, very few limits to mods. I can envisage an alignment with Superlap down the road.

Yeh it would be more along the lines of the A, B and C categories... basically modification free, but dependant of your lap times and what class you nominate to be in

must be more than a rumour....tony's r35 ran at EC today. 13th overall.

Yep. He got tagged by the Mosler into turn 2 in race 1 and went into the pits after that. Went passed a little later and they were working on the left rear wheel.

Cant believe i missed that today. gosh darn.

Best racing of the weekend at Symmons was from Targa class and im not surprised that they would want it as a support race.

Having said that i cant see many of the top runners from down here travel with them to do so even with the chance to drive on said tracks!!!
