Jaguar is set to turn heads at next week's Targa High Country starting 7 November, with more vehicles in the support and rally line up than ever before.

The pinnacle of the Jaguar range, the all new F-TYPE R Coupe, will be the star attraction of the Jaguar support vehicle line up. The F-TYPE R Coupe will perform 0A duties and will be driven by current front-running Targa competitor, Matt Close. Jaguar Australia are proud to have former Australian Rally Champion, Ed Ordynski at the steering wheel of a Jaguar XF 3L Diesel to perform 999 support duties. Ben Wooster, also a former Targa competitor will also be on hand to drive an additional Jaguar XF 3L Diesel in his role as 0B support. Jaguar Australia Product Engineer and former Targa Rally Navigator, Marc Gammage, will support the Jaguar Australia vehicle line up.

Ben Newman and Crichton Lewis will represent Neil Bucky Jaguar in an F-TYPE R Coupe, competing in the newly introduced Sports Trophy competition.  Jaguar owners, Christopher Waldock and Christine Kirby, will be competing for the Time Speed & Distance (TSD) trophy in their new F-TYPE R Coupe.

Jaguar Australia is proud to be associated with the Targa family and look forward to cheering on the support team and Jaguar rally entrants as they tackle Mount Buller one of the most challenging and exciting roads in the country along with the High Country Region from Mansfield to Eildon and out to Euroa for the first time.

Jaguar has always believed that a car is the closest thing you can create to something that is alive. Supporting the iconic Targa events, which are unique in the world today is a particularly appropriate alignment with this belief and Jaguar Australia looks forward to continuing to support of Targa High Country and the Ultimate Tarmac Rally, Targa Tasmania in the future.
