That's Graham Copeland's car, driven this year by John Siddins. They have always shared the driving duties in previous years. They're both Brisbane guys, John is a regular competitor in sprints and hillclimbs up here in his awesomely fast british racing green 240Z with 2950-ish cc L series 6. He's a great talent and always looks very smooth, and is commonly the fastest closed car at many events he enters. A bit of a legend in the local scene up here, and this result didn't surprise anyone who knows him.
Graham used to do a few local events (mainly historics stuff) as well, and the last time I saw him competing at a local event, I beat him in that same car! but that was around 18 months ago, and I think it's safe to say his car has had a fair bit of development since then as he is focusing on Targa Tas only these days. They finished 2nd last year as well to Broadbents 911RSR, which was absolutely unbeatable in the category! Broadbent entered in a GT3 this year and finished 3rd in Modern, so he's pretty mean steerer too.
About the joint venture, converted, what did you have in mind?
I'm about to start the build of another car to FIA International Rally regs, as my 1200 isn't legal for those events. I'm having 4 weeks off in Aug to begin the build-up of the new car. I think it should be competitive, but it's a bit out of left feild. It's still a Datsun though
