We're heading back to Pikes Peak!!!!

Yep, that's right! We're heading back to Pikes Peak in 2012 this time in a magnificent Skelta, Australia's own Porsche killer!

Weighing in at only 780 kilos and with a nominal 300 hp at the rear wheels from it's supercharged F20C Honda S2000 engine, the power to weight ratio is enough to scare the likes of Lamborghini and Porsche.

The car we'll be using is the same car that came 2nd on Targa Tasmania this year, loosing out to the top spot by 63 seconds due to running on JUST 3 cylinders on the final day. Not too shabby, huh!

But sadly the Targa Tasmania organisers got taken on a nice little junket by Porsche to Europe, got given nice vintage Porsches to drive in the Lemans 'classic' event, and around Europe, and a Porsche to drive at the Nurburgring for kicks, and when they flew home they immediately re-wrote the rules to stop the future entries of this magnificent Aussie built car into further and future Targa Tasmania events at the stroke of a pen. I guess it had something to do with the video image of the Skelta catching and passing the Porsche GT3 of Aussie race legend Jim Richards on one of the stages in last years event. I know Jim and if he found out why they banned the Skelta he'd be really upset.

Makes you sick doesn't it! An Aussie made car taking on the world in an Aussie event and the organisers are so wrapped up in a gravy train the refused to allow it future entries to please the gravy train from Porsche. The amazing thing is I like Porsches, having raced them in endurance events in the US, and I like the Targa Tasmania event too, but I also like the Skelta.

Anyways, so now we're not welcome here, (which may sound famialir to my friends and fans in the US) so we'll go to the big show across the pond and compete there...

Hey, does anyone know how Porsche got their start...? Wasnt it building lightweight small capacity cars that kicked the big established guys - ie: other motor manufacturers - butts in motorsports in the early years earning a reputation for well engineered and lightweight cars... Im just saying!
