Walker Motorsport The Fast Mustard man featured loud and large atop Walker Motorsports VW R32 at the recent Targa Wrest Point. An incident on the Pelveratta stage left the team with some repair work to do thanks to some sturdy Armco. All is not lost for Targa Tasmania though as some helping hands from friends in the southern states are sourcing parts and labour at cost. This is an ideal opportunity to suggest that there is more sponsorship opportunity on the new paint that will be applied, all prior to Targa. Contact Alastair via email for more information.

Jono Lester Do you have an autographed picture of Jono Lester? If you do, hang on to it because he is going places. Earlier this month (February) Jono was awarded one of five positions in the Porsche Motorsport Talent recruitment in Vallelunga, Italy. Each candidate was assed on not only the obvious driving skills of the new GT3 Cup cars, but also on such criteria as personality and communication skills. A worthy recipient in Mustards opinion and well done.
