2011 BATHURST MOTOR FESTIVAL

Easter 22^nd - 24^th April 2011

MODERN REGULARITY

NEW SOUTH WALES ROAD RACING CLUB

The New South Wales Road Racing Club is pleased to advise that they have secured the

rights to conduct a Modern Regularity event as part of the 2011 Bathurst Motor Festival to

be held at Mount Panorama, Bathurst over the Easter Weekend of 22nd - 24th April 2011.

RDA-EBC BRAKES will be the naming rights sponsor for the upcoming Regularity event.

Les Smith, Managing Director of RDA-EBC brakes said “ We are pleased to commence

our involvement with the NSW Road Racing Club at the spiritual home of Australian

motor sport. Our involvement is part of our ongoing plan to support grass roots motorsport

events around Australia”.

The Festival will include five Race Categories & two Regularity Categories, one of which

will be administered by the Club. Details for the Festival are available at

www.bathurstmotorfestival.com.au.

Vice President of the Club, Steven Lacey said, “the vehicles competing at this year's

Bathurst Motor Festival in our Club's Regularity span some five decades of motoring.

They include American Muscle, Australian Muscle, British Classic, European,

Modern Turbo Performance and Clubmans”.

In total there will be forty five (45) cars competing in each of the five sessions scheduled

over the Easter Weekend with competitor's coming from NSW, QLD, ACT, VIC & SA.

Steven went on to say, “The opportunity to compete at Mount Panorama in a road

registered car and with an L2S CAMS Licence is extremely rare. Bathurst Motor Festival

gives competitors this opportunity at an affordable cost.

Whilst I’ve competed previously at Amaroo Park, Oran Park, Wakefield Park,

Eastern Creek & Philip Island, there is nothing like the rush you get at the  Mountain”.

The circuit's topography & layout will even out the field with some sections suiting the

big V8's & other sections best suited to the modern day European & turbo cars.

Some of the world's best performance cars - Porsches, Lamborghinis, Nissan GTRs, Audis, Alfa Romeos, Subaru WRXs and Lancer Evos - will carry a new banner at next month's inaugural Targa High Country following the announcement thta the Modern and Early Modern competitions will be sponsored by leading Australian company RDA-EBC Brakes.

The new event, based out of Mt Buller and taking in the spectacular roads of north east Victoria from November 5 to 7, is round one of the Octagon- owned Australian Targa Championship.

Rotors & Drums Australia (RDA) commenced operations in Melbourne as a trade and retail parts supplier in 1987.

Today,RDA is the largest supplier of disc brake rotors and brake drums in Australia and New Zealand, with a range of parts to suit over 1800 vehicle applications.

RDA-EBC Managing Director, Les Smith says his company is delighted with its sponsorship of the Modern categories.

Having sponsored and assisted many entrants over the past few years in north east Victoria events, we are excited to get involved with a event that brings the very best of tarmac rallying to the region.

The modern and early modern cars are a real focus of the sport, so to have the top cars carrying our brand is terrific.

The event will receive major television coverage and be a real boost to getting our name out to all motorsport fans.

This support follows on from our involvement with Targa Tasmania and is part of our ongoing plan to support grass root motorsport and road sport events around Australia"

Mark Perry, the event director of Targa High Country, says the new corporate is a major plus for the new event and the sport.

The whole Targa concept, now with three events and its own championship, is going from strength to stength,'' Perry said.

While we have incedible competitor interest, for the sport to continue to grow we need corporate support, so this latest announcement is a further boost.

We think that we can forge a very long term partnership with RDA-EBC Brakes.

EBC Brakes is the company's performance brake pad range, and is the world's leading brand of Kevlar brake pads.

They have a network of 800 distributors and resellers.

 

Targa High Country consists of eight competitive stages each day, heading north to Wangaratta via Whitfield on the Saturday, and to Eildon via Jamison on Sunday.

Each day will end with a 16-kilometre stage up to Mt Buller.

A 3.5 kilometre stage around the streets of Mansfield will kick off the event at 5pm on Friday November 5.

• Car: Audi TTRS 2010
• Competed in 6 consecutive Targa Tasmania's in a Porsche together and finished every one
• Tarmac Rallying is a very fast form of motorsport demanding a high level of commitment to rally notes and driver/navigator teamwork
• We think husband and wife combinations can have an advantage as the level of implicit trust comes naturally - we pick up on small things about how we are handling (sometimes) stressful situations without having to spell it out. That keeps a calmness in the car necessary to keep banking fast stage times.
• We have won the highest finishing husband and wife crew 2 years running Targa Tasmania is a 5 day rally held on sealed roads of 2500km total distance, 500km of that timed racing
• I think if a relationship can survive the ups and downs of Tarmac Rallying the it can probably survive anything
• Highlights - winning the prologue 2 years running
• Best finish 5th outright last year in a 10 year old Porsche turbo
• Changed to an Audi TTRS for this year due to the brilliant roadholding of the quattro 4wd system and superior wet weather performance, as Targa Tasmania generally has a lot of wet roads during Targa
• Targa Tasmania will be the world debut race for an Audi TTRS
• When were looking around for a new car to replace our aging Porsche we both fell in love with the look of the Audi TTRS and the sound of the 5 cylinder engine is superb
• I was a huge fan of the all conquering 1980 Audi Quattro 5 cylinder, so after first test driving the Audi TTS 2.0 litre turbo were so impressed that we could not wait to drive the slightly larger capacity TTRS 5 cylinder
• We both knew Audi made fantastic cars, so we both thought it was time someone seriously took an Audi tarmac Rallying in Targa Tasmania
• Our car only arrived in Australia mid January, so it has been a very fast preparation for this gruelling event
• The car will have about 700kms on it when we line up for the prologue in Tasmania - I hope that won't effect my warranty!!
• We have so much to learn about the car in a very short period of time
• The great thing is there has been very little we have needed to change in the cars suspension as the Magnetic Ride Control is that good, it is perfectly suited to Tarmac Rally duties and the engine power is also very good
• The major modifications to the car are around safety such as roll cage and harnesses - the roll cage took around 4 weeks to build
• Casey nearly cried when 5 minutes after I brought the car home I started to strip the beautiful interior bare, ready for the roll cage installation
• We are up against some serious supercars in Targa such as well developed Lamborghini Gallardo's and Porsche GT2's, so we have a lot of development in front of us
• Our first goal is to finish and not put a scratch on our baby
• We think a top ten finish would be a terrific result along the way taking a few Subaru STI and Mitsubishi Evo scalps along the way
• If it is wet for a few days, we may just surprise a few of the big boys

RDA / EBC Brakes are proud sponsors of the Phillip Island Classic March 19th - 21st 2010

2009 Mt Buller Sprint on December 4th - 6th in Victoria, Australia

Run over a sixteen kilometre closed road from the foot of Mt Buller in north-east Victoria to the Resort township on the mountain’s peak, the course contains more than 132 different corners separated by short bursts of straight and cambered tarmac, all taken under tyre in less than 10 minutes.
The Mt Buller Sprint is open to both Classic cars (pre-1982) and Modern cars (1982 onwards), ensuring a great mix of different rally and race cars making the climb every year.
This year’s entries so far include cars such as the Lamborghini Gallardo, Porsche 911 RSRs and 996 Turbos, classic and modern Holden and Ford V8s such as the Capri Perana and LJ Torana, American muscle like the Corvette Z06, a gaggle of Nissan, Subaru and Mitsubishi AWD saloons, and even a Mazda3 Diesel.
Some of the fastest cars to tackle the mountain have already gained entry to the exclusive ‘Sub-Nine Club’. Sponsored by TARMAC Magazine, only two of the ten trophies symbolising entry to this exclusive league of speedsters remain up for grabs this year.
This year, the sprint moves from the Melbourne Cup long weekend to Friday 4th – Sunday 6th December to make use of optimal summer alpine conditions and avoid other event conflicts. Day one, Friday December 4, kicks off the weekend with a shakedown and prologue utilising the final 2.5km of the full course to enable competitors to get a feel for this unique road.
Over Saturday and Sunday, the drivers have a minimum of four full runs each day to hone their skills and shave their times, with the worst run dropped in final results to tighten the competition even further. Last year, efficient time management and tireless work by the Sprint’s dedicated officials enabled 11 stages to be run over two days, to the delight of spectators and competitors alike.

The Targa Tasmania Rally 2009.

The following comments are from Matt Close who has entered in the modern competition and from all at RDA / EBC Brakes we wish Matt & Cameron well.

Every year the competition gets hotter and even though our car has never been better, I have the same goal as last year.
To finish! A top 5 outright would be brilliant, with a top three being the dream.
Our 2000 Porsche Turbo is the oldest car in our class (class 9) and the list of possible winners is long with the new GTR 35 Nissan (6 of them!) and Jim Richards in the latest Porsche GT2 being the favourites.
Although we have won the prologue for the last 2 years, I am not expecting to repeat this as we have a totally new suspension which will lend itself more to the bumps and the wet, hopefully giving us a better set up for the actual rally stages. I have taken a different tack and gone for a soft suspension setup with softer tyres.
This year will be my 6th Targa Tasmania but the first without Casey in the Nav seat. Cameron Reeves (from Queensland) will join me while Casey takes a short break (she said I'm too slow!).
Cameron and I competed recently in Targa West Point in February and finished 4th outright in similar company to Targas' entry list.
