[DeTomaso] New Zealand ORR event with Pantera

[Tom Di Iulio]

Yep, I saw it today as well. Looks like a blast although the course is
much more technical (translate=slower speeds) than any of the ORR events
here in the states. I had to back up my tivo and look again when I saw
the familiar profile of a pantera. Several cars off the road, one
Porsche in a very serious 150' tumble down a hillside. 
We gotta do this! 


Possible new venue for Team Pantera. 
Speed Channel had a program "Dunlop Targa New Zealand 2005" appears to
be an ORR type event with multiple days &  multiple stages.  There was a
yellow Pre-L, Pantera midway through the program. No mention of the
Pantera or of the Driver/Navigator in the narrative. Upon doing a Google
search of the event results indicated Peter Cullen/Jenny Chisholm were
the Driver/Navigator. Do any of the forum participants have further info
on this car? Below is a link with more event info.
Event runs through the country roads like high speed rally event with
timed stages. Does not appear to have restrictions on car/engine
configurations or modifications. Competitors are limited to a fixed
number of tires (6?) for all the days/stages. Competitors choose a
compound for the entire event and must run that compound for entire
event. Also if one exceeds a 200KM/HR speed limit one will incur a
5minute time addition, if additional tires are required additional time
penalties will be added.
