Targa Tas Press
APPLEBY AND STOKELL GIVE GALLARDOS TARGA SHAKEDOWN

Nations cup racer Paul Stokell and Australian golfer Stuart Appleby gave their Targa Tasmania-bound Lamborghini Gallardos an awesome shakedown at Tasmania’s Symmons Plains Raceway today, giving a selected number of local media the ride of their lifetime.

In what will be the Gallardo’s international motor sport debut, back-to-back Nations Cup champion Stokell said he was pleased with the handling of his $400,000 Italian ride, confident that the Gallardo will secure him a top spot in this year’s five-day Tasmania tarmac rally starting on Tuesday, April 26th.

“Today was the first serious run the Gallardo has had since we got here, it felt fantastic and everything did as it was meant to,” said Stokell.

“I am treating the car as a new car, and making sure that we cover all aspects of reliability and ensure that I drive it to the best of my ability.”

The PGA champion golfer watched with envy as his Lamborghini team mate skilfully manipulated the 500bhp machine around the 2.41km circuit.

“Paul is a very accomplished driver, the Gallardo is a new animal internationally and no one has driven the cars to this extent. Paul is very good and we know the car is prepared well – he is a competitor and you will definitely see him compete,” said Appleby.

Taking a week–long break from the rigours of the PGA tour for Targa Tasmania, Appleby says he is extremely excited about the event and was delighted by the opportunity to put his own Gallardo, and his driving ability, to the test.

“The car feels great and I can’t wait to get out there and just drive and get the rhythm of the week, it is going to be a lot of fun.”

Also involved in the media demonstrations laps, Tasmanian competitor Greg Garwood put his Porsche 911 Turbo through the pace, as did international competitor and Stuttgart Porsche Museum Director, Klaus Bischof, who steered the majestic Type 718 RS 60 Spyder around the circuit with ease.

As the 2005 event’s Official Flag Car, the Porsche Spyder will lead-off a starting field of 255 entrants on Tuesday for the Temco George Town Prologue, where starting positions will be determined for the first day of competition starting on Wednesday 27th April.

go Stuey! let's just hope he doesn't get a hole in one...

 

thanks.....I saw Stuart in the Gallardo this morning on Sunrise (great show ) , sounds like a good idea - just get in before someone else does
I hope they provide some adequate coverage of the TT this year (on TV I mean) - should be interesting.

 

apart from a dead rapper in a McDonald's Murcielago nobody has given Lamborghini as much exposure.

well, usual deal has been sometime in september when we've all fergotten there's some little triangle island down there, they'll show a 1 hour highlight package at lunch on a saturday. i've only managed to catch it the last couple years because i've usually been at home hungover.

also watch out for Phil Buggee in the 124 Abarth Spyder.

ha.....that must be why mhh doesn't want to enter his Gallardo
Did you see the F308 which caught fire yesterday? The engine bay went up in flames for some reason....the guys inside got out and tried to extinguish it

 

One carburettor needle valve brass bung fell out, and it pumped fuel everywhere.

Burnt the cambelts and bent the valves, among other things.

My guy worked all night trying to fix it, before he found the valves bent....

Oh well.

 

yeah was just on the news earlier. toasty.

 

The 308 which caught fire belongs to Robert Gambino from NSW. He is an FCA member and a regular in the rally. A really nice guy, its a shame there appears to be lots of damage to the engine. Glad to see your OK rob.

 

I will be going to Classic Adelaide as I live in Adelaide. Nice pics of that drive ashsimmonds. I haven't seen those cars around Adelaide before, how often do you go on those drives. I live in Unley, anyway might see some of you at Classic Adelaide .

Well right now I'm looking for a new car so not sure should have a new car within the month I think.

 

there's a real nice DB9 at solitaire

 

the DB stands for Dogs Breakfast, I think the poms should be ashamed of making such a beast...it was olde worlde before it left the CAD PC!

Is that you getting out of a smashed GT40 ?

I can't tell the fakes from the real ones (this should help Kylie )

 

not me i took the photo, the photo of me is holding the wheel barrow,

the gt40 was on the SFR yesterday morning, this was taken south of the city, and its a nice car considering it was finished a week ago

 

okay they also have a gun metal 6 speed gallardo on the floor for a quick sale
