Yeh I'm keen to get the GT-R going hard then save up and have a crack at the targa tasmania in 2-3 years. Long way to go but would be the best experience imho. The road trip alone would be a hell of a lot of fun.

I've looked into doing the Dutton Rally, Hill Climbs, Sprints, etc... But I don't know where to start! You obviously need your Cams licence, but what else? (Aside from a car and money/sponsorship for all you smartarses :P)

I was a navigator in rally cars a few years ago. It got to expensive to do after a while of constant racing. I also grew up at speedway pretty much my whole life. My parents had race cars for many years, and demo derby cars as well. It was sweet got a hell of alot of knowledge from that!! :D
