The team set out with an objective to test their GTR after its repairs following Targa Tasmania earlier in the year.
The positive news is that the car ran faultlessly. The team picked up a number of stage wins and got the opportunity to run the car in the wet.
Now some time will be spent over the coming months to prepare for the 25th anniversary of Targa Tasmania.

Wow !! What an amazing event and amazing team.
After what looked like an unlikely start on Thursday night we got as high as 2nd position today and a stage win today.
A final result of 5th place outright is more than we hoped for on our first run out, a great result for the team overall.
We would like to thank our service crew and sponsors who have done so so much, to even get us on the start line.
Thankyou and bring on Targa Tasmania with lots of learning’s.

After getting to know the car a little better, the team were able to push a little harder on the familiar day 2 stages which took them out to Pizzini Wines at Whitfield and back.
With the crew and car performing faultlessly they were able to finish the day 3rd, up 2 places from yesterday. Adam, Erin and the crew are thrilled with the day’s results.
The team are looking forward to tackling the challenging stages of day 3 which takes them out to Eildon and back. The biggest challenges of the day ahead are the two 30km stages and the final run up Mount Buller however temperatures tomorrow are set to be a welcoming 10ᵒ cooler which everyone will be looking forward to.
Thanks

Today was the first day for Adam and Erin in the Nissan GTR.
The team in the car are forever gratefull to their service crew, who worked through the night to get the car to the startline. We would also like to thank JustJap for their help with car parts and Alpine affair who loaned us their workshop.
Today was a steep learning curve in the new car but an enormous amount of fun and we are looking forward to learning the car further and enjoying days 2 and 3.
Many Thanks

Hi all,
After a massive effort from our incredible team of service crew and supporters, Erin & I are about to tackle Targa High Country in the modern/outright category for the first time.
Preparation and testing on our new GTR has gone perfectly and although we admit to some nerves, we are more excited than ever to be getting out to race on some of Australia’s best roads.
If you happen to be in the Victorian High Country on the 7th, 8th or 9th November, be sure to stop by and say hello, we would love to see you. Those of you that cant get up close, we will be updating the website and our social media pages throughout the event to keep you abreast of our progress.
