Here is the footage from the 260 on the Queenstown stage - (one of my favourite bits of road) - check out the right hand side as he is going up!!

edit - go to youtube and watch it in HD. It seems to be running in 4:3 instead of 16:9 in my window (if anyone knows how to fix it let me know)

I cant help but think that if Dean got that car a little earlier and spend a few months in it he could have finished on the podium...

Agreed!

That car is terrible in the wet, what were they running for tires, slicks?


Targa is a great event, with some cool cars. That coverage is quite a bit better than I have seen of it in the past too.

Though Irish Tarmac Rallying is a little more hardcore if you ask me

You can only use one set of tyres for the event and Dean was running medium compound Kumhos.

And yes that Irish rally looked very hardcore!
