Day 2 of Targa Tasmania sees stages held West of Launceston.We’ve ever been to Targa before but I can say one thing. It is very difficult for spectators and media. We think Targa needs more information on their website regarding access and good viewing points. To get a good spot you need to drive the course before the road closes and park where you are allowed to and is safe, then sit around for nearly 2 hours and wait for cars. Once they start you are stuck in one spot for up to 3 hours. This means you can really only cover 1, maybe 2 stages in a day. We tried driving to part way through a stage but the road became un-sealed. We were driving out GT-R so scratch that idea! We finally made it to the scenic Kayena stage, but the roads were already closed. We parked at the end of a closed road and walked along the river bank to get to a good spot! We then had to endure on and off showers as well! The things we do for a good shot and video!
Just Jap R35 attacking the pavement. AWD came in handy today!
Day 1 of Targa Tasmania was the prolouge, held in Georgetown, where competitors put down a base time to determine the order they run during the stages. The street circuit through the old town makes for some great viewing. Along with our photos, we also have some video coverage coming soon. This R35 is from WA and looked awesome in chrome!
It’s roadtrip time, and what a trip this is set to be! With Round 1 of the Just Car Insurance Australian Drifting Grand Prix on the 21st and 22nd of April, we needed t head to Tassy anyway, but why not head over early and check out some Targa Tasmania action. I’ve always wanted to check out Targa Tasmania first hand, I’ve always wanted to drive the roads in something decent and my family members in Tassie constantly ask when I’m going to bring one of my cars over. Well, now that I have a suitable car, it was time to take the GT-R on it’s first road trip.
Well, after the 2011 Yokohama World Time Attack Challenge, not a whole lot has happened with JET200. We can simply blame that on time and money. But, we’re pumped up again to get JET200 back on track. We’ve had a “list of things to do” sitting on the windscreen of the car for a while now and we’ve finally got started on ticking things off. Most of them aren’t massive jobs, but they do add up. The night before Jamboree we got a bit carried away and ticked a few things off.
This feature was supposed to wait until Motive DVD #15 but with Round 1 of the Just Car Insurance Australian Drifting Grand Prix coming on the 21st and 22nd of April, we wanted to share it with you now. Enjoy

Get pumped up for WTAC 2012 by checking out this quick video we made of WTAC 2011 in the raw. No music, no eidting, no voiceovers, just your favourite cars in the raw. We have full coverage of 2011 WTAC coming in Motive DVD #15 with a feature on the Tectaloy Drift Challenge, Documentary on JET200 at the event and coverage of WTAC. Better late than never right?
After being debuted at the Summernats in January 2007, then being on the front cover of Fast Fours and appearing in Blood, Sweat and Gears all while being developed into a mental all-rounder street car, JET200 had a pretty good year, but it didn’t end well. On December 20th 2007, JET200 suffered an oil pump failure at Oran Park Raceway. CRD didn’t build the bottom end, so no blame landed on them. The simple fact was the stock oil pump couldn’t handle 8500+rpm and cracked and destroyed itself. After having the car towed home, it sat around until it went on static display on the Haltech booth at Summernats 2008 and then in 2009 it all spiralled out of control as JET200 started it’s journey from hardcore street car to dedicated time attack track car. Take a breathe….. and read on for an epic journey!
Seems as we’re pumped up about getting JET200 ready for this years WTAC, here is some raw footage of the car from 2011. We have a full documentary on the JEt200 at 2011 WTAC coming in Motive DVD #15
Well, we knew that the open and clubsprint class entries for this years Yokohama World Time Attack Challenge would sell out quickly, but 23 minutes is insane!!!

So, to share how pumped up we are to get JET200 ready to hit the track again, here is a small sample of the JET200 2011 WTAC documentary that will be in Motive DVD #15
