CAMS Australian Targa Championship returns in 2018

05-May-2017 Brittany Smith

THE LARGEST motor sport championship in the country returns in 2018 with all eight Targa competitions being included to give all Targa competitors a championship to compete in. Another major first will see the introduction of two OVERALLChampionships that will be recognised as CAMS National Championships.

One will cover the Early Modern, GT2 and GT4 competitions and the winners will be crowned the CAMS Australian Targa Champions. The other will cover Classic and Classic GT competitions and the winners will be crowned the CAMS Australian Targa Classic Champions, with both winning teams being invited to the CAMS National Awards dinner each year to receive their accolades, alongside the winners of the Australian Rally Championship and the Supercars Championship.

It is great news for Targa and tarmac rallying competitors across the country. To finally be recognised in this way will inspire many competitors to achieve this goal and will surely see the introduction of many new manufacturers, along with increased involvement from our current manufacturers, in the years ahead.

The Championship will be contested over four events, yes four, with a soon to be announced event added to Targa North West, Targa Tasmania and a final round at Targa High Country. The points table to be used in 2018 will be released in the weeks ahead.
