Targa Tasmania Wrest Point "Pelverata Stage"

Postby HobartLancer09 » Mon Jul 09, 2012 5:32 pm

I drove this stage yesterday in my lancer as its only about 10 mins from my house. Just thought i would share this video with everyone. Its Jason White in his white Lambo, :wink: bit of a shame about the quality but its still sounds sweet as...

Just think when this road is not a stage, about 50% of it is only 60kph speed limited...

Pretty sweet vid, I've recently started doing a bit of marshalling for rallys over in WA

I love driving the bitumen tracks, there's a few good roads in WA I like to go for a squirt on in the car or bike :)

A month or so ago I did one and took the Z4 on the track with the top down and all, it was good fun :P I had no traction in 1st 2nd or 3rd, lots of sliding! :D

Yeah man for sure, every time I take a video from my car or bike I'll replay it and say to myself "this doesn't even look scary, that corner was at $1.80 with my knee almost touching the ground!"

This is the only video of a car/bike I've uploaded to youtube, went from 50ish to 170 in 5 seconds (The bike can do it quicker, but hey I'm not perfect :P )

When I did it (about a year ago now) it was insanely quick but watching the vid it doesn't look that fast, crazy how videos and pictures don't do stuff justice hey
