Targa Tasmania

Postby Mitch1100 » Sun Apr 23, 2017 10:49 pm

My sons boxer (2006 Subaru WRX STI S204), stickered up and starting today...finishing Saturday. Targa Australia run the world's largest, longest and hardest tarmac rally event- Targa Tasmania. The concept of the Targa is drawn directly from the best features of the Targa Florio, Mille Miglia, the Coupe des Alpes and the Tour de Corse.

Looks fantastic a friend of mine was pit crew for a team running an F360 a few years ago.

I also enjoyed the film about Eric Banas exploits

Good luck to them
