We were lucky enough to be invited along to the Make Smoking History Targa West 2020 Tarmac Rally and even luckier to be a part of covering the absolute pocket rocket 2019 Lotus Exige Targa GT!
Piloted by Peter Rullo and Navigated by Jimmy Marquet, the boys absolutely let loose on Day One and the Lotus was on kill mode through the local bushland of Whiteman Park, on the state of the art Wanneroo Raceway and through the suburban streets of Ellenbrook. The combined experience and talent between Peter and Jimmy made for a force to be reckoned with.
Mike (WA Racing Developments) also a highly experienced resource when it comes to all things motor racing followed closely with laptop in hand and a support car full of tools, kept a close eye on the car setup, reviewed the racelogs after each stage and ensured the car was dialled in to deliver everything Peter commanded of it.
Day One (Thursday 22nd October) kicked off with the official start to the event at Forrest Place in the heart of Perth City, followed by 4 Special Stages out at Whiteman Park, then off to Wanneroo Raceway for 2 Special Stages and then finished in Ellenbrook for the final 2 Special Stages of the day.
A massive amount of time and effort went into this… As much of a perfectionist as I am, I have to say – I think this is one of the best videos I have filmed, compiled, edited and produced to date. I really hope you enjoy this one.
Stick around for Day 2 (followed by Day 3 & 4) over the coming weeks!
