Here's someone enjoying there S-type
Here's someone enjoying the heck out of there S-type ---> down under.
Targa Tasmania 2019 in their Jaguar S Type X200. sounds good. |
Only in OZ.
|
I don't understand why they weren't driving it hard. What gives?
|
possibly like a lot of people , the fear of the plastic cooling system ?
it's a targa rally . there are many classes . also you are racing your own clock not the fastest guy. |
Exhaust sounded like it was from a Japanese drift car. Nice to see a S-Type compete like this.

Maybe not a full thrashing but credit given for at least being on the track and giving 'er the boot ! Here in the 'States most people drive a Jag as though it was made out of glass, as you've probably observed yourself! Cheers DD |

You forgot the sarcasm font perhaps? |
Great photography, beautiful country. It wasn't even a STR. Keep that traction control on baby.

No I was asking a real question. Seemed like they were on a spirited drive more than racing.
Probably being sensible. Ever done any real, sanctioned open road racing? |

And... there is a roll bar in that S-Type |
Well a roll bar is better than nothing but in that environment a serious off would still be pretty horrible. It's not like a nicely controlled track environment and with his wife? along I think he's probably being quite wise. My wife loved open road racing in Nevada in what was essentially a street car like that one but absolutely hated a 30 minute session around Watkins Glen in my race car which does have a full roll cage, racing seats with 5 point harnesses and a fire system. She found it too claustrophobic and I was pushing a lot harder there than on an open road.

I wouldn't push it with my wife in the car. Shoot... just driving 70mph has her uptite :icon_steer:
