pbTarga Newfoundland simplifies rules for competitors/b /p
piSt. John’s, NL, May 1, 2024/i ... Targa Newfoundland, the only tarmac-based car rally in North America since 2002, has simplified the rules and regulations to make them easier for competitors to understand and follow, and easier for organizers to manage. /p
pThere are three competitive and one non-competitive divisions in this legendary event, which runs September 12-19: Targa 1 and 2, Grand Touring, and Fast Tour. The competitive Targa 1 and 2 divisions are further grouped by two-wheel and all-wheel-drive vehicles made before or after the year 2000. /p
p“We wanted to make it easier for competitors to figure out which division to enter,” says Targa Newfoundland President Joe Dowden. “You just need to choose from the competitive and non-competitive divisions and identify whether your car is two-wheel or all-wheel-drive, whether it has a roll cage, and when it was made. It’s as simple as that.” /p
pTarga Newfoundland divisions: /p
p· bFast Tour (FT)/b, a non-timed, non-competitive motorsport adventure, top speed 130 kph /p
p· bGrand Touring (GT)/b, a time, distance and speed competition, top speed 140 kph /p
p· bTarga 1/b,b /bab /bcompetitive event for cars without roll cages, top speed 140 kph /p
p· bTarga 2,/b a higher speed competition for cars with roll cages, top speed 190 kph /p
pTarga 1 and 2 are broken down into the following groups: /p
p· bTwo-wheel drive/b (2WD) built before or after the year 2000 (Classic or Modern) /p
p· bAll-wheel drive/b (AWD) built before or after the year 2000 (Classic or Modern) /p
pFrom the start in 2002, Targa Newfoundland adopted a set of rules and regulations based upon those from Targa Tasmania. As the vehicles changed and pivoted towards modern cars with more electronics we rethought our classification system. When we reintroduced Targa in 2023, we combined the Bambina (two-day) and Targa (six-day) event classifications into one new system for both events. It was instantly popular as it allowed us to accept virtually any vehicle, however modified, and class it based on simple criteria. /p
