21.01.2022 Here’s one for the Nav’s!

20.01.2022 What the drivers said Day 2... Anthony Genocchio (driver 1983 Holden Commodore VH, leading Classic GT): We ended up stuck on the side of the road in Innisfail after the final stage of the day. We had a good day until then. It looks like we might be going out in sympathy with Jon Siddins who we had a great battle with but who is also out of action.... Tony Seymour (driver 2013 Lotus Exige, third outright): The idea to do this class was that the big boys are out of town and now is a good time to do it. Let me tell you while there are a few top drivers not here, it is no less daunting. Yesterday was a lot of twisty stuff which we do in GT Sports Trophy anyway but today was the first time we were nudging over 200km/h, and I’m thinking ‘what are you doing?’ Samantha Winter (co-driver 1985 BMW 325i): The stages today were really good and fast. I think we probably backed off a bit on the first one because we weren’t sure about some oil and discretion is the best part of valour is the best way to describe it. Peter (driver Gluskie) is doing an excellent job as usual.

03.01.2022 Jon and Gina Siddins are the powerhouse couple behind Team24oz. they’re favourite TARGA stage is Montumana in Tasmania where; in 2017 they recorded the fastest stage time overall for the event which inherently helped them on their pursuit to take out 1st place in the hugely competitive Classic GT competition. Here’s to a big 2021 of rallying for them and we cannot wait to see them in April at TARGA Tasmania 2021. #TARGA #TARGAtasmania #tarmac #rally #championship #motorsport #motorsportaustralia #drivingtour #drivingevent #bestdrivingroads #drivingroad #luxurydestination #luxuryholidays #luxurytraveller #discovertasmania #tasmania

01.01.2022 What the drivers said Day 3... Tony Quinn (driver 2018 Nissan GT-R R35, winner Outright, It’s Live in Queensland GT Outright): Those stages today really suited the Nissan. We could not have done much better and really it was the old story of an old head. We didn’t do anything stupid but we didn’t back off either. Peter Gluskie (driver 1985 BMW 325i, winner Shannons Classic Handicap): We were really happy. It’s not easy to lead from start to finish. This is a really great even...t and what we went through to gain an exemption from Victoria and go into quarantine was not easy but this has made it all worthwhile. Wayne Udy (driver 2019 Lotus Exige 410 Sport, winner Reef Hotel & Casino GT Sports Trophy, 2nd Outright): This is a bit surreal really. We had an aim of getting on the outright podium but to finish second is incredible. It’s not how you want to get there with people dropping out but it was still a matter of going hard. We kept pushing the limit the whole way. Dan Bowden (driver 1965 Ford Shelby Mustang GT350, winner Shannons Classic GT): Winning was totally unexpected but to finish first, first you’ve got to finish. For us, it was just a matter of getting to Cairns and having some fun. This is my first TARGA event for 15 years and I can’t wait to come back. The car was brilliant and I’m a big fan of Fastback Mustangs. Steve Van der Brug (driver 2009 Subaru WRX STi, winner Cairns Regional Council GT Production): We never expected to be on the podium. We are still learning and this is very exciting to have achieved a win. Andrew Horn (driver 1998 Mitsubishi Evo V, winner Dutton Garage Early Modern 4): My co-driver Sally Coning called the notes extremely well today and it wasn’t easy. We kept pushing along and we can’t believe the result. The support from the local community really has been amazing and the atmosphere was really buzzing all weekend. Tim Hall (driver 1980 Holden Commodore, winner Shannons Thoroughbred Trophy): We only got the car prepared eight weeks before the event and didn’t get the entry in until late. We are stoked to have won the class.

01.01.2022 TARGA convert and Cairns builder Steve Van der Brug is eager for the field to blast off after months of frustration during the COVID-19 crisis. Van der Brug and co-driver Linda Rankine are among several leading contenders in the GT Production category in their Subaru WRX STI who were bitten by the TARGA bug when we first came to Cairns in 2018. Van der Brug has been counting down the days to his home event and can’t wait to get back in the car and enjoy TARGA’s first event ba...ck since COVID hit earlier in the year! #TARGA #TARGAgreatbarrierreef #tarmac #rally #championship #motorsport #motorsportaustralia #drivingtour #drivingevent #bestdrivingroads #drivingroad #luxurydestination #luxuryholidays #luxurytraveller #exploreTNQ #exploreCairnsGBR #thisisqueensland #farnorthqueensland #tropicalnorthqueensland #tropicalcoastqueensland
