Targa Tasmania

[100SRV]

This looks interesting, seems to be along similar lines to the Silver State event in the USA:

Road course, long distances, fairly open classes (McLaren 650, Fiat 131, Cobra Daytona Coupe, 911, R34 GT-R etc)

It's a good event. I live in Tasmania and used to regularly be a volunteer marshal but got a bit sick of muppets in Porsches that they couldn't drive whinging about everything. I now put my efforts into club level events and V8SC.

One day I'll have a crack at driving it though.

I suspect competitors from Targa Tassie (or Targa NZ, or the various other targa rallies) would spend a fair chunk of the Silver State wondering why there are no corners.

Have you seen 'Love The Beast' with Eric Bana?

It's brilliant and a must watch for anyone with even a little bit of petrol running through their veins and it culminates with him driving in the Targa Tasmania.

I did it! Got a finisher's medal and a Targa Plate. The plate is for finishing all 37 stages under a set time for each. I navigated in my pal's 60's Mini Cooper S. It was Mental!

Nice one! I ashamedly didn't see anything this year and I live in Tas :/

I was an official for many years but a few things started to annoy me so I thought I'd focus more on circuit racing.

Hopefully one day I'll have a crack at competing though.
