stuart_benson Posted 7July, 2022 Report Share Posted 7July, 2022 Beyond Nations Cup, Maher also ran his black GT3 at Targa Tasmania (either in 2001 and 2002, or in 2002 and 2003), and it was also leased by Crick Greg for Targa Tasmania 2004. Crick's '04 campaign, with Mark Stacey calling notes, didn't make it beyond the Winnaleah Targa Stage on day 2... Greg retained the car after the crash, repaired and re-sold it a few years later, looking better than ever. My Cup car shares the shed with my Subaru STi S202 that Tony Sullens used to win Targa that year. Ironically Algadri used to own the Subaru too!

Link to the event TV show here (16:45 for Crick's off) - Good one Stuart. Also good to hear Bazza calling his notes for Jim - I was actually talking to Barry this afternoon, and the subject of Pace Notes came up, and he said that right at the start of their racing relationship, Jim said he wanted a plain english call that described the corner, rather than him having to interpret a number, and that they'd never share their notes with anyone else. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't see any issues at 16.45 It looked liked Cricks made it through that stage if I watch on. Any more info/background would be great Try 19min.

James P Posted 11July, 2022 Author Report Share Posted 11July, 2022 Amazing how damaged some of the GT3's got in these events, most are repaired & back on the road as normal cars now... i have bought & sold a few undamaged GT3's over the years & know most of the histories...

My nations cup car also won Rally Tasmania and came 2nd in Targa Tasmania in 2001 as seen in short here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CfjA7q3J6oQ/ It's pretty cool how versatile these things were...competing at race tracks one week and tarmac rallies the next.

That was back in 2004! Doug had done a bit of circuit racing and 2004 Targa Tasmania in it since buying it from PCM. Max Warwick traded it on a '04 GT3. Memories.. I did the low diff' upgrades on a lot of those cars before they were delivered new. Woah I accidentally clicked on P2 instead of going to the end of the thread and what do I find, but this post. I've owned the ex Warwick 2004 GT3 since 2010. I've got the OE diff in a box LeeM, TwoHeadsTas, DJM and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out this clip from Trackside in 2000 Nations cup starts at 15 min in & Porsche cup after that, a lot of our car are featured including yours & my car 4 hours ago, Peter John said: Lovely @stephan! I’ve just confirmed that I own the MK1 Maher Algadrie car that was number 70 in Nations Cup. Not sure exactly how many races it did in Nations Cup as Maher had plenty of cars I believe. I personally wasn’t confident it was the car when I bought it as it’s very clean and tidy but following up leads, strangely enough it was after I bolted on a black set of Speedlines from @hugh that I confirmed it! These older GT3’s are great as they almost all have history unlike later models when a cup cars were in use. Windscreen donut king sticker getting made currently. Been trying to tell you its the Maher car for a while... 😀 I confirmed that with the previous owner. Awesome looking car BTW... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James P Posted 20April, 2023 Author Report Share Posted 20April, 2023 I will soon start restoring the Peter Fitzgerald 996.1 GT3 CS Nations Cup Car, the very first GT3 to come to Australia back in 1999.

1st Posted 28July, 2023 Report Share Posted 28July, 2023 Nations Cup 2000 and 2001 Results Does anyone have a definitive list of the 2000 and 2001 results x round x car/driver x place? The Falken GT3 was 2nd and 3rd outright in the Championship but I'd like to cross reference the car's results x round. There also were races held at the Melb GP and Bathurst that I don't think counted to the NC Championship (?) Wikipedia isn't user friendly as it list points per round. Does anyone have the results that they can share please. Cheers Stewart Adelaide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
