I have lived in Tassie, and a mate of mine has driven TT - and wants me to go down and do it w/ him (looon ways away now). This video makes me miss the 'Apple Isle'. The sailing/diving off of Tassie (****. 'Tazzee' for my American mates ) is also magnificent. Some decent wines too.
Not surprising given how much faster the 991GT3 is over the 997GT3. Especially for rally stages.
The Viper is a power house but for a race that long you would want a truck load of spares....
Last viper I rallyed against required 2 transmissions....
The GT4 was a nice little entrant.
Nissan GTR and 991 Turbo S would have been interesting to see in the right hands.
The high RPM would make the 991GT3 the most fun.
The fact that Porsche builds clubsport roll cages for these models makes them excellent entrants for targa rallying.
Anybody wanna run their porsche in Targa Newfoundland??

GTR and Turbo S are in a different class being 4wd.
Thanks for the compliments guys - glad you appreciated it!
There were 5 or 6 GTR's in the rally entered in a different class, but none of them (nor any other car) posted faster times than us (and the Viper) on any stage we were "giving it to". The last day and a half was a "dead rubber" for us, once the Viper blew up, so we stopped pushing hard to ensure the win.
The rally was predominantly dry over the 6 days, so the AWD didn't really prove an advantage in the dry. In the wet maybe the story would be different.
While the Turbo S may be quicker in a straight line and in the wet, I don't believe it would be as fast through the twisties as the GT3. Also, it's not a Motorsport car and the DSC, ESP, TC would be saying "no" too often.
Our top speeds in this rally were over 275km/hr... I'm not sure I want to see what a Turbo S does on the same straights...

Unbelievable! TT has been on my bucket list for a few years now. Hoping to do my first in the next 2 years. Targa Florio was just so incredible and seeing the few events like these left is still mind blowing.
