sorry i didnt explain myself properly. yes i know the WRC is totally different level from NZ targa, which though its still an international event, it isnt part of a championship series and have cars built by factories specifically for it. Porsche hasnt built a car specifically for world series rally for years. ( but wouldnt it be great if they did!!)
Yes the NZ targa is a fully tarmac event. Targas in this part of the world usually are and elude to Targa Rally ( as Targa NZ is pomoted as) or Tarmac Rally.
What im saying is that porsches here have found a niche away from the track in the same vein as real rally that they truely excel in, sans all the top level rally equipment.
there are some international names there but being Kiwis or Aussies you probably havent heard of them.
Does anyone know where i can upload a 100mb video? i was on a start crew for WRC Rally NZ '07and made a video of it. i'm having issues uploading to youtube...
here is that GT3 that rallys:

but just because it does rally desnt mean i think its the right tool for the job! In Aussie there used to be a late 90's ford falcon xr8 that was in their national league. it was the weirdest thing to watch! (rwd + 351(?) v8)
