The latest installment of what's happening down here in NZ.
Went to Targa Bambina on Saturday. Targa Rally is a big event in terms of the numbers of competitors at the main event in October, usually about 250 cars. Targa Bambina had about 130 cars competing. So still a reasonable sized event, with full road closures for the event. We went to watch two stages.
Stage 4 corner at Ostrich Farm Road was busy, in terms of the number of Z Club people that were spectating, probably making up about 1/4 of the number of people at that corner. Thanks to a very chatty farmer and his family that came out to watch the event, pity we didn't get an invite to the champagne breakfast though.
As soon as the road was opened we had to head that way anyway to the next stage, so we drove stage 4. Driven many times for rallies, but often at night time.
Drift car display that came though before the Targa Tour cars:
These Zeds are too slick and too quick to get a lock on a camera, slightly out of focus:

A few from stage 5, Monument Road, we didn't see any Zeds:
