    Default Our car is on its way to New Zealand!!!

    Team STILLEN is returning to the 2008 Dunlop Targa Rally in New Zealand.

    After a year and a half of further development and a succesful test at Fontana Speedway we have loaded our car into the shipping container and she is now on her way down to New Zealand. There, she will once again compete in the grueling 6 day Dunlop Targa Rally. Unfortunately we couldn't participate in the Ford GT Forum rally this year because our car spent the weekend getting prepped and pampered before her 3 week long journey to the other side of the world.

    Steve will be arriving in New Zealand in mid-October and will immediately begin final preparations for the week long trip. While we are on the rally we will be video taping the event and posting video's on our website when we return. Every night I will be posting updates on our blog to let everyone know how we're doing. Of course this depends on the internet connections I can get in the hotels. Let's just say that some of the places we stay in our "rural."

    Wish us luck and we hope you enjoy the daily updates, stories, and pictures to follow!

    Thank you very much guys! We hope to make the Ford GT community proud and this year we're going for the overall win. If the weather plays nice, we are confident that we can be competitive.

    I am glad to hear that you are enjoying the 3.9's in the TT car! We actually installed a set into another TT car a few weeks ago and it really brought it alive.

    Thanks for the well wishes guys! We hope to make the GT community proud!

    Jeff, here is a link to the rally website. It looks like we're about 37 days until the green flag drops.

    I wish we could have attended the rally. We were all disappointed that we were tied up here. Hopefully we can make next year's rally though.
