Skelta cars were born out of one man’s obsession to win the awesome 2000km long Targa Tasmania road rally. A former Australian rally champion, Ray Vandersee began his determined assault on the event with a re-engineered Westfield. His ingenious modifications put it on a par with most of the Porsches, Nissan GTRs etc that were dominating such events, but it was clear that something fresh was needed to ensure him of outright victory. Embodying everything he’d learned from developing the Westfield, he designed and engineered his own creation from scratch - the Skelta.

Thanks to Skelta, Vandersee and his customers have now won countless events throughout Australia and New Zealand and Vandersee himself has come agonisingly close to realising his dream of winning Targa Tasmania outright. With a string of class wins and quickest stage times to his credit, plus the fastest Skelta yet under constant development, he can’t wait for 2010!

Skelta Racecars Europe has been formed to give UK and European drivers the chance of similar success and enjoyment. The car has SVA approval, so can be road-registered and therefore driven to and from events as desired.

Skelta facts
