Targa Trophy Categories
Targa Tasmania is a genuine endurance rally, where simply finishing the event is seen as a major achievement. However, the main goal for most competitors at Targa Tasmania is to be awarded a Targa plate for completing all Targa stages under a pre-set time. The award is modelled on Targa Florio, where a porcelain plate was awarded for completing the race.
A Golden Targa Trophy is awarded to those who achieve a Targa plate in three successive years of the event.
An even more impressive milestone, the Platinum Targa Trophy is presented to those who have already won a Golden Targa Trophy and, since winning that trophy, have again been awarded a Targa Trophy in another three successive years, and so the journey goes on.
Next comes the Diamond Targa Trophy, which is presented to those who have already won a Platinum Targa Trophy and, since winning that trophy, have again been awarded a Targa Trophy in three successive years, followed by the Gold Diamond Targa Trophy and Targa watch, which is presented to any crew member who has already won a Diamond Targa Trophy and, since winning that trophy, has again been awarded a Targa Trophy in three successive years.
The ultimate achievement is the Platinum Diamond Targa Trophy, which is presented to any crew member who has already won a Gold Diamond Targa Trophy and, since winning that trophy, has again been awarded a Targa Trophy in three successive years; yes that is 15 years of success and with this comes automatic induction into the Targa Hall of Fame Legends. Rare space indeed!

The Targa Tasmania Hall of Fame has been set up to honour outstanding commitment to the event by past and present competitors and officials.
Competitors are automatically admitted to the Hall of Fame on completion of 15 events, when they are also awarded the John Large Memorial Award. Targa Tasmania believes that if a competitor reaches this milestone, they really deserve to be remembered forever.
The Targa Tasmania Legends section within Targa Tasmania Hall of Fame is for the competitor who achieves the ultimate Platinum Diamond Targa Plate (five sets of three Targa plates).
