Jalopnik.com also picked up the story for discussion on their home page currently.

If only the GT-R wasn't flashed with a speed limiter.. ;)

We'll have lots of photos and video of the rally once the guys make it back, but you can follow along with the recaps on the STILLEN blog: STILLEN

Quick video of a corner at Targa NZ 2011

The second video is cool with the hybrid view and speed. That GTR sounds downright evil! Sweet!

That rally is awesome. Thanks for the post. +rep

Thanks! Targa Rally's are nuts! No pace notes, just general instructions, no pre-driving the course.. Just a blind run, sometimes for 20 miles or more!

Here's in-car from Targa Newfoundland, in the rain, on roads just a touch wider than the GT-R.. Steve Millen can friggin drive!




Another one from Newfoundland that shows you the neighborhoods they race in. They actually have to go around and talk to every person in these neighborhoods. In New Zealand they did new stages this year, took them 5 months.. LOL

OOPH! Maserati had a big off.. Targa 2011 Andy Booth Black Magic Moment on Vimeo

Wow! What a ride, it could have ended a lot worse than it did. Good to see they got out without injury.
