The competition

TARGA is a genuine, red-blooded motorsport event. It is a tarmac rally designed for the true motoring enthusiast.

A tarmac rally is a unique form of motorsport where purpose-built rally cars compete on sealed roads closed for competition. Starting at 30-second intervals, cars race against the clock with the winner being the fastest car over all stages.

The Tour

Based in some of Australia’s premier driving and tourism destinations, TARGA tours are a complete adventure – packed with great roads, fine food and beverages, high-quality restaurants and accommodation as well as the beautiful scenery.

In the TARGA Tour, participants experience a true tarmac rally but in a noncompetitive, non-timed format, and without the need to modify your car. Enjoying the same challenging, closed-road stages as the competition cars, the Tour delivers the exhilaration of driving your car as it was designed, without the pressure of competition, on some of the country’s best and most exciting roads.

The TARGA Tour is available as entry-only leaving you to decide on accommodation and dining options, or as a package which is a complete travel experience, comprised of your entry, preferred accommodation package and dining, all pre-booked on your behalf.
