Welcome
Welcome to Targa Tasmania,
Australia’s longest running tarmac
rally, and still it’s biggest and best.
Over the past 23 years the event
has built a rich history, and we still
see the annual return of so many
competitors who were around
in the very early days, unable to
stay away from the magic that this
event exudes.
Targa Tasmania has done so
much to change the landscape of
motorsport in Australia. The event
that started Targa racing in this
country is now the pinnacle of a
series that takes in three states,
and is the final round of the fourevent CAMS Australian Targa
Championship.
The enduring appeal of Targa
comes from the breadth of cars
that come to this beautiful island
every year.
Again, we will see cars from so
many eras, from the majestic
1934 Ford Indy Special of
Graham Copeland, this year’s
Flag Car, through to the very latest
of the modern sports tourers.
Targa Tasmania continues to have
a major economic impact on the
state, and brings joy to many of its
residents who, in turn, make our
interstate guests feel so welcome.
Of course, it does bring some
disruption to residents as well,
and we thank those affected for
their understanding and patience
that allows this great event to
continue.
Such a major event could not take
place without all the volunteers
that help to put Targa on, and we
are enormously grateful for their
good work.
Mark Perry
And finally, to the competitors thank you for coming again, and
Directors Targa Australia Pty Ltd
your support.
Whether here just for the
event, or an extended holiday,
competitors, teams and fans not
only see how stunning Tasmania
is, but we know you also enjoy
experiencing a lot of what the
state has to offer – like our great
produce, natural attractions and
top class tours and experiences.
It’s fantastic to have you here.
CAMS has more than 55,000
members and we are dedicated
to growing Australian motor
sport, educating our youth,
developing our young stars and
promoting road safety.
The Targa Tasmania forms an
integral part of what is CAMS
calendar of events in 2014,
and we look forward to an
entertaining, safe and rewarding
event for all this year.
CAMS is always delighted to be
involved in one of the biggest
and best tarmac rally events in
the world.
In this event, drivers and
navigators come from far and
wide to experience some of the
most exciting and challenging
roads and this has been the
drawcard now for twenty three
years.
Enjoy all the action from the
Ultimate Tarmac Rally.

A very warm welcome to Targa
Tasmania, and for those of you
from interstate and overseas, an
even warmer welcome to this very
special island.
Those of you back here for your
10th, perhaps even 20th visit,
are probably not suprised that
Targa is celebrating it’s 23rd
anniversary and that the State
Government, through Events
Tasmania, is delighted to once
again be a major sponsor of
this great, dare I say legendary,
tarmac rally.
A massive commitment by
organisers, our co-sponsors, and
of course the many volunteers
involved, Targa Tasmania has
been a catalyst for extensive car
touring as a result of the exposure
of our spectacular scenery and
ease of driving experiences.
Much of that exposure is through
you, our participants in the event,

In addition to the promotion
of Tasmania as a top place for
touring, Targa gives locals the
chance to see a world-class
motorsport event in their back
yard. While the state invests in
a wide portfolio of major events
to generate economic benefits
through the ability to draw visitors
from interstate and overseas, it’s
also about giving Tasmanians
the opportunity to be part of
something bigger and for them
to experience new and exciting
things around the state.

WHAT IS
TARGA?
Across the past two decades,
since its first running in 1992,
Targa Tasmania has become
a household name across the
country.
People know it’s a motorsport
event run in our southern-most
state, and one that attracts a
host of magnificent machines
from around Australia, and even
from overseas, and a posse of the
country’s top tarmac rally drivers.
Many however don’t know the
intricate workings of the event,
or even, the origins of the word
¬“Targa”.
A stage is a timed section on a
closed road. Tasmania is fortunate
to be able to boast a plethora of
brilliant tarmac strips. While some
stages are in every Targa, some
move on and off the program,
with new ones added occasionally
when a great bit of road goes from
brown to black (or from gravel to
tarmac).
attract no penalites – the ultimate
aim. Some times are set to ensure
they are easily ‘cleaned’ (i.e.
completed under that base time),
in this case there is no reward for
how much you beat it by.
However, if you are slower than
that base time, those seconds
accumulated for each stage
But for the majority of competitors,
the goal is to win a Targa Plate
(see p18 & 19 for past winners),
meaning they have completed
each of the 40 stages across the six
grueling days of competition under
a pre-set time for their class.
It puts like cars of like vintages
against each other. It’s hard for a
1974 Porsche 911 to beat a 2013
Nissan GT-R, but with one in
Classic and the other in Modern,
it doesn’t have to if the goal is to
take class honours.
So as well as pace, strategy is
also vital - knowing when to attack
and when to hold back. This is
particularly important as each car
is only able to use eight tyres for
the 2000-plus kilometre journey,
and any extras used attract a big
penalty that ends any hope of
Sunday glory.
Targa Tasmania’s heritage comes
from a passionate history dating
back to 1905 in Sicily, where
the inaugural “Targa Florio” was
unveiled. That event took its name
from organiser Vincenzo Florio
and each winner was presented
with a plate bearing the Florio
family crest. The Italian word for
plate is “Targa”, hence the name.
Each year there is, understandably,
great focus on the overall fastest,
and the winners of each category.
There’s Regularity, Early Classic
Handicap, Late Classic Handicap,
Classic Outright, Early Modern,
Modern,
Showroom
2WD,
Showroom 4WD, Showroom
Sports and Modern Muscle Car.
For those at the front of the field,
chasing outright or class honours,
the goal is not necessarily to
be the fastest, but rather it is
to accumulate the minimum
number of penalties along the
way.
Organisers set a base time for
each stage and if you beat it you

@targanews
But each Targa is really a series
of
competitions
happening
simultaneously.
It is an event format that has
something for everyone, and it’s
not just the competitors who are
the winners. Whether your thing
is a 1970s Holden Torana or Ford
Capri, the latest Lamborghini
or a 1954 Fiat Abarth, there is
something for you to cheer on
in this incredible cavalcade of
motoring history that is Targa
Tasmania.

are added together across the

CAMS Championship
overview
Targa Tasmania is the final round
of the 2013/14 CAMS Australian
Targa Championship.
Round one was Targa Adelaide
back in August, after which cars
tackled Targa High Country in
November, before heading to
Tasmania for Targa Wrest Point
in February.
Now it’s time for the mother of
all Targas - Targa Tasmania. With
double points on offer this round,
and with drivers being able to
drop their worst result much can
change, and in most classes the
season title is still wide open.

When Jason White went into
February’s Targa Wrest Point
as the overwhelming favourite,
he didn’t quite have the CAMS
Australian Targa Championship
sewn up, but he appeared to
have one hand on the trophy.
1. Vandenberg / Sims, 2009
Nissan GT-R, 163 points
But motorsport is never that
easy, and when the local hero’s
$600,000 Lamborghini Gallardo
went up in flames mid-way
through the first day, it threw the
championship wide open.

4. Quinn / Lehmann, 2011

Just two points separate the
series leading Early Modern
contenders, Robert Balint (2001
Mitsubishi Lancer Evo TME 6.5)
and Robert Cowman (1990
Holden VN Group A SS), and
both drivers will be determined to
push hard from the outset.
However, any of the top six
drivers in the championship
standings are still well and truly in
the running for the title, including
third placed Charles Nott and his
rare 1998 TVR Chimaera.
Early Modern Pointscore
1. Balint / Lane (2001 Mitsubishi
Lancer Evo TME 6.5),
122 points
2. Cowman / Cowman (1990
Holden VN Group A SS),
120 points
3. Nott / Nott (1998
Chimaera) 106 points
TVR
4. Holland / Holland (2002
Porsche 996), 105 points
It’s another from Tasmania’s
north coast, Burnie’s Jamie
Vandenberg, who now holds
a commanding 33-point lead.
White remains equal second,
and is back for the final round
in a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo, but
it looks like a tough assignment
to come back from here, even
for the reigning titleholders.
Steve Glenney is considered
Vandenberg’s biggest threat in
his Nissan GT-R, having won
Targa Adelaide and finishing
second in Targa Wrest Point.

Regularity
Launceston
Subaru
dealer,
Ben Newman, is on the verge
of his first CAMS Australian
Targa Championship title with a
convincing 58-point lead heading
into Targa Tasmania.
Only eight points separate the
leading two Regularity crews in the
Australian Targa Championship.
South Australian, Richard Davis,
and his co-driver, Victorian
Bill Best, have been the most
consistent so far in their 2008
Holden HSV W427.
The Subaru WRX STI driver has
taken the RDA Brakes Showroom
4WD victory at Targa Adelaide and
Targa Wrest Point, and finished
third at Targa High Country, to
lead the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo
X of Clinton Arentz, and another
Subaru, driven by Ralph Norton.
The 2012 Jaguar XKRS of Chris
Waldock and Christine Kirby, both
from South Australia is not far
behind, and they will be hoping
that the double points on offer at
Targa Tasmania enable them to
take the championship win.
With double points on offer
at Targa Tasmania, even third
placed Stewart Liddle (Mitsubishi)
is still in the running.
The Showroom 2WD competition
also sees a dominant leader, with
Adam Spence clearly in a class of
his own after three victories on the
trot in his 2013 Renault Megane
RS 265.
Targa’s newest class is Showroom
Sports, and seven-time Targa
Tasmania winner, Jim Richards,
joins the competition for this
event. However Glenn Crimp
is the man to beat for the
championship title.

Classic
Consistency is a key element of
sport, and Targa’s Classic Outright
competition is a prime example
of accumulating points to win a
championship.
Zac Caudo (1973 Datsun 1200)
and Peter Ullrich (1963 Jensen
CV8) certainly don’t have the
fastest cars in the competition,
but they lead the series with just
the final event to run.
The favourite to lift the
championship crown is still Port
Macquarie’s Andrew Miedecke
in his 1970 Ford Capri Perana
V8, and while he missed the first
round, victory in the past two has
him in fine form.
The Early Classic Handicap battle
is also a close-fought affair, with
veterans Jack Waldron and Vin
Gregory leading all comers in
their 1955 Fiat Abarth 750. They
sit a solitary point ahead of Brian
Ponting’s 1964 MG B, with Wayne
Pfingst a further nine points back
in his 1971 Holden Torana GTR
XU1.
Michael Reynolds has put his
1981 Holden Commodore on
top of the Late Classic Handicap
standings, with a five point
lead over three drivers: Michael
Edwards (1977 Datsun 260Z),
Simon Hoff (1975 Ford Escort
RS2000), and Bruce Power
(1979 Mazda RX7). With the top
eight drivers separated by just 23
points, the fight will go right down
to the final day.

SHANNONS CLASSIC
PREVIEW
On paper, Andrew Miedecke looks
like a sure thing to win the Classic
Outright competition at Targa
Tasmania, but the Tasmanian
(now residing in Port Macquarie),
knows full well that it won’t be that
easy.
Miedecke’s 1970 Ford Capri
Perana V8 has won the past two
Targa events it has entered and,
on outright speed, it seems only
Craig Haysman’s 1981 Triumph
TR7 V8 will be a match for it.
Yet the six-day, 2000km plus
event is certain to have many ups
and downs for all competitors,
something Miedecke knows only
too well.
“With the event in May, you would
think it will almost certainly mean
wetter weather, so that may or
may not suit my car. We’ll have
to see, but it will certainly be a
challenge,” Miedecke said.
“There are two reasons I love to
do Targa Tasmania. One, because
I’m a Tasmanian, and two,
because I really think it is one of
the great motorsport challenges in
the world.
“The car has been fantastic since
the rebuild. It’s won two events
from two starts. It’s a great car,
well prepared by Les Walkden
and his team in Launceston.
“It’s always day four that is the
decider at Targa. Stages like
Cethana are a huge test and really
seem to sort everyone out.”
Along with Haysman, the normally
reliable Porsche 911s of John
Ireland and Roger Paterson will
be right on the pace, as will the
Mazda RX7s of Canberra’s Bruce
Power and Greg Sutton.
Whilst Targa Adelaide winner,
Simon Hoff, will be making his
Targa Tasmania debut, his 1975
Ford Escort RS2000 has been a
real surprise packet this season
and could be a dark horse.
“This year will be a really tough
year in Classic with a lot of
seasoned campaigners showing
their
experience
in
Targa
Tasmania competition,” Haysman
said.
“With this event you have to have a
balanced approach of committing
to the fantastic Tasmanian roads
at speed, and also ensuring your
car can make it through five
tough days of rallying. It is a great
achievement to have your team
just finish the event let alone be
on the podium.”
The Early Classic Handicap battle
will be a close-fought affair, with
veterans Jack Waldron and Vin
Gregory one of the favourites in
their 1955 Fiat Abarth 750. Peter
Ullrich (1963 Jensen CV8) and
Andrew White (1961 Volvo 122S)
both have proven Targa Tasmania
form and will also be pushing for
victory.
In Late Classic Handicap,
Michael Reynolds will be hoping
to maintain his championship
lead and give his 1981 Holden
Commodore a double celebration
– the event and the title.
Classic
Florio
is
another
fascinating section of the rally,
where entrants complete days
one to three, and then day five,
reducing some of the burden on
car and driver.
However, it is still highly
competitive and it’s hard to pick a
winner for 2014. Last year Philip
and John Blake were victorious
in their 1964 Fiat Abarth but look
out for Mac Russell (in his 22nd
Targa Tasmania), and also Drew
Kent, Wayne Gerlach or David
Carrow in an eclectic group of
cars from across the years.

REGULARITY
PREVIEW
One of the growing classes in
Targa Tasmania is Regularity,
which sees crews driving to a predetermined average speed over
the event’s closed road stages.
With cars ranging from the
1970 Triumph Stag of Western
Australia’s Bruce Pollock, through
to Victoria’s Greg Leech in a 2013
Ford Mustang, Regularity offers
something for everyone.
Each stage is assigned a target
average speed - based on
its condition - of between 70
kilometres per hour and 100
kilometres per hour. Drivers
are restricted to 130 kilometres
per hour maximum speed and
the winner is the team with the
fewest penalties by consistently
matching the target average
speeds.
Unlike
regular
competition
vehicles, Regularity vehicles do
not need to be equipped with roll
cages but driver and co-driver
must wear a helmet.
All cars in the class are fitted with
monitors that relay speeds back
to the event command centre,
and penalties are applied to those
going outside the specified rules.
It all makes for an intriguing
competition, and picking a winner
won’t be easy.
It’s a true test of driver, co-driver
and car. The leading competitors
over the past few events have
been Philip and David Frith
(2012 Porsche Boxster S), Martin
Duursma/Marc Sobbel (2013
Lotus Exige S), Richard Davis/Bill
Best (2008 Holden HSV W427),
and Alan and Heather Gluyas in a
2012 Toyota 86 GTS.
Davis would prefer dry weather,
but says that if it rains, it’s just
a matter of adjusting to the
conditions and getting to the
finish.
There are no age restrictions on
cars in the Regularity category,
which sees a wide range of
motoring history on display, and
has made it one of the fastest
growing Targa classes and a
great first step into the Targa
competition experience with a
lesser price tag.
South Australian, Richard Davis,
is the championship leader going
into the final event, and says he’s
looking forward to driving his big
Holden on Tasmania’s brilliant
roads.
“Regularity gives us the chance
to compete against cars like
Porsches with a good chance of
winning, but the events are about
more than just competition,” he
says.
“There’s a real camaraderie
among the competitors, and while
we all want to win, we’ve become
great friends, so the social side is
just as important to us.
“The car is all ready to go. I’ve
done a few events in it now and
getting back into it feels like an
old pair of shoes – it’s comfortable
and fun to drive.”

EARLY MODERN
PREVIEW
Targa Tasmania might be
classified as an endurance event
over six long days, but for the
leading Early Modern contenders,
this will be of little consequence
when they start the first stage.
The turbocharged, four-wheel
drive Mitsubishi Lancers and
Nissan Skylines have regularly
been the cars to catch in Early
Modern, however an event like
Targa Tasmania brings reliability
to the fore, and well and truly
evens up the competition.
One of the favourites will be West
Launceston’s Ben Manion, whose
1990 Nissan Skyline GTS will be
well suited to the stages. It will be
Manion’s eighth Targa Tasmania
and his fourth in this car.
“I’ve had a pretty good lead
up to the event, which is a nice
change,” he said. “I’ve usually
had engine issues to get sorted
but this year I’ve been able to do
a heap of events leading up to
Targa, including some club days.”
Manion is expecting Tim Hendy
in a Nissan GT-R, and Pete Nunn
in a Porsche 944 S2, to be his
strongest competition.
“Both those guys have cars
that are really suited to the wet
weather, so it will be a challenge
for us if it rains.
“I’m hoping for dry weather,
because we’ll drop plenty of
time coming out of the hairpins
on the east coast roads if it’s
wet. However, we go well on the
sweeping, high grip roads on the
west coast, so hopefully we can
make up some time there.”
Along with Hendy and Nunn,
Robert Balint (2001 Mitsubishi
Lancer Evo TME 6.5) and Robert
Cowman (1990 Holden VN Group
A SS) will be engrossed in a battle
of their own, with only two points
separating them in the fight
for the CAMS Australian Targa
Championship.
Stephen Thatcher is another to
watch. He’s has been a regular
in Early Modern and maybe this
year he can take a class win.
He was sixth in 2012 and up to
third in 2013, so is heading in the
right direction. The New South
Welshman is behind the wheel
of a 1994 Nissan ATTKD Select
R SP.
One of the most popular classes
in Targa events with over 20
entries, Early Modern will also
feature BMW M3s, Mazda RX7s
and MX5s, and even a 2000
Ferrari 360 Challenge, driven by
Victorian Con Whitlock.

“This move to the Porsche
Cayman S really recognises
that you can take a car off the
showroom floor, add some safety
requirements and go out and
enjoy yourself,” says Richards.
“Driving the Cayman S will be a
total departure from what I’ve ever
driven and require a different style
of driving to that of the GT2 RS.
“The first time we take out the
new car will be at George Town.
The Prologue will be our warm up.
“It will be slower than what we
have been used to but probably a
bit better over the bumps.
“We’d like to finish and get a

SHANNONS VINTAGE
RALLYE PREVIEW
The Vintage cars may well be the
slowest in the Targa Tasmania
field, but they continue to be
rated as some of the most popular
by the fans that stand on the side
of the road and cheer them on.
Open to cars manufactured
before the end of 1946, this
category’s cars, and the colourful
characters who choose to drive
them, represent so much of what
a Targa event is all about.
While old and slow is probably an
apt description of the cars in the
Vintage competition, it’s also fair
to say that these cars are being
driven at much greater speeds
than their makers ever intended.
Most of the cars are open
top, meaning that Tasmania’s
fickle May weather can make
driving these classic machines
challenging, not to mention
freezing cold.
Yet the competitors don’t seem
to mind, pointing out that driving
their cars on Tasmania’s brilliant
“drivers’ roads” is what makes it
all worthwhile.
Stage
times
may
be
inconsequential for most crews
in the class, particularly when the
challenge of keeping cars of this
age in good working order is taken
into account.
Queenslanders Graham Copeland
and Josh Herbert will drive the
oldest car in the event, a 1934
Ford Indy Car Special, although
their machine is only four years
older than the 1938 Dodge
Speedster Special of Tasmanians
Wayne Clark and Trevor Berriman.
The 1934 Ford, owned by Rod
McMullin, will also be the flag car
this year being the first away from
the start line each day.
“Rod rang me and asked if I
would run his 1934 Ford Indy
special,” said Graham Copeland.
“I have watched this car for years
and jumped at the opportunity.”
“I love the Vintage comp and the
cars. They really are ‘seat of the
pants’ driving and with their drum
brakes, basic side valve motors,
three-speed non-synchro gearboxes
and leaf springs. They can really test
the size of your resolve!
“You drive a car that is made from
parts that were manufactured
before most of our parents were
born. It’s awesome if all the bits stay
where they where meant to stay
and do what they were made to do!
“I love Targa. It’s my annual
sabbatical. I have met and made
so many great friends at Targa,
and they can come from classic,
modern or vintage. It really
doesn’t matter as Targa crosses
all categories.”
Both crews are Targa Vintage
competition regulars, and will be
eyeing the finish in Hobart on
Sunday afternoon.

In recent years, the focus at the
start of each Targa Tasmania
is around who might be able
to challenge local Lamborghini
driver, Jason White, for modern
honours.

over six tough days. If he can pull

driver will grow even further.
go,” Glenney said.
Unquestionably,
White
has
been the man to beat. But
when the local hero’s $600,000
Lamborghini Gallardo went up
in flames mid-way through the
first day at Targa Wrest Point
in February, it threw this Targa
Tasmania battle wide open.
Hobart-based South Australian,
Steve Glenney, will be White’s
biggest threat, and should even
have a speed and performance
advantage in his Nissan GT-R.
“We want to win every event we
enter. If you keep winning events
then the championships look after
themselves. But we’ll be trying
our hardest to win both.”
At Targa Wrest Point, Glenney
looked like the man to beat early
on the Sunday, but gearbox
troubles ruined his run.
He
managed to bring the car home
in second place by driving around
the problem, testimony to his skill
behind the wheel.
Glenney is wary of the weather
as well, given the event will take
place in May.
Now, with the Italian supercar out
of action, White has had to revert
to a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 9 to
contest the event – a car that he
crashed in another tarmac rally
early in March.
However, it does at least keep the
local favourite in the game with
“The car is all fixed up. It was the
last thing we really had to refresh
in the car so we will be good to
While holding on kept his
championship hopes alive, when
it comes to Targa Tasmania,
Glenney will be focusing on the
win.
“May events in the past have
thrown up plenty of challenges –
they can be quite wet and even
with snow. But we know with
Tasmanian weather it might be
perfect blue skies as well, so we’ll
just take it as it comes.
“Certainly there will be plenty
to beat to take the title. Matty
Rickards is super quick, Jason
White will be a bit of a revelation in
his Evo 9, and Jamie Vandenberg
is getting quicker and quicker
in that GT-R. Matt Close will be
tough to beat as well.”
Burnie’s Jamie Vandenberg and
past winner Tony Quinn are both
behind the wheel of a Nissan GTR. Both will be quietly confident
of a podium finish in this event, a
rally each has done many times.
As will Rickards, who took his first
tarmac rally win at Targa Wrest
Point and will be full of confidence
behind the wheel of his Mitsubishi
Lancer.
And, as Glenney predicts, Matt
Close will be another front-runner
in his 2010 Audi TT RS Plus,
although reliability problems
have hampered his progress in
previous events.
With at least four drivers in with a
real show of victory, the Modern
competition at Targa Tasmania
will be one to savour.

Regarded as one of the most gifted
rally drivers in the country, Glenney
will be out to add to his Targa
Tasmania title that he won back in
2008. Then he was in Mitsubishi,

Jack Waldron, along with his codriver, Vin Gregory, have done 21
Targas together, and show no sign
of stopping, or slowing down! Their

the true classics in the field, and a
very realistic chance of taking Early
Classic Handicap honours this time
out.

Matt Close grew up in Penguin
and knows the roads of Targa well.
He’s always quick and just needs
to get the reliability of the Audi TT
RS sorted in order to be a major
contender. He’s always on the
mark, but still looking for a breakthrough win at one of the Targa
events.
Compared to many in the field,
Ben Newman, with his co-driver
Crichton Lewis, are both novices in
the sport. But in three years they
have shown marked improvement.
Now, having won two rounds
already, they would love to take a
Targa Tasmania and, in doing so,
secure a class Championship win
as well.

Stephen Thatcher has been a
regular in Early Modern, and
maybe this year he can take a
class win. Sixth in 2012, up to third

a 1994 Nissan ATTKD Select R SP.

Circuit racer Clinton Arentz is now a
force in Targa competition as well,
and a real threat to Ben Newman

Arentz gets the maximum possible

SO ALIVE,
IT INHALES TECHNOLOGY
AND EXHALES EMOTION.
A Jaguar feels deliberately different. It’s full of technology, yet full of emotion.
Technology such as Adaptive Dynamics perfectly configures the car 500 times a
second. And Jaguar Sequential Shift™ intuitively selects gear changes in the blink of an
eye. It all goes into creating legendary sports cars that feel breathtakingly alive.
Discover more about what makes every Jaguar feel so alive.
JAGUAR.COM.AU
HOW ALIVE ARE YOU?
*Recommended retail price for XF 2.0L TURBOCHARGED PETROL and the 2.2L TURBOCHARGED DIESEL
Luxury versions. Car shown XF 2.0L TURBOCHARGED PETROL.

Safe Spectating
The easy and safe way to enjoy watching Targa Tasmania.
WARNING! MOTOR SPORT CAN BE DANGEROUS – PLEASE OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GUIDE
Spectator exclusion zones
ALWAYS
• STAY ALERT! The unexpected may happen.
• WAIT until the police car with the flashing lights
and siren passes your location before moving onto
or across the road. Some racecars may have been
delayed in the passage of competition.
• STAND where you can see the competing cars
coming and going.
• LEAVE yourself room to move away quickly.
• SPECTATE from behind the ‘green and white’ or
‘orange’ (town stages) tapes.
• KEEP CHILDREN under constant and close
supervision.
• KEEP ANIMALS on a lead. Spectator marshals and
senior officials have been trained in safe spectating
procedures. Please obey their instructions. A Targa
Stage will not start, or continue, until an official’s
instructions are obeyed!
NEVER
• STAND in prohibited areas or sit close to the
edge of the road (study the spectator viewing
diargrams).
• STAND BELOW the level of the road in gutters,
culverts or run-off (escape) routes for the
competing cars.
• SIT at a location on the same level as the cars.
Standing will allow for a quick escape if required.
• STAND BEHIND the red and white striped tape, in
front of arrows or signs relevant to the running of
the event.
• BE DISTRACTED. Always face the competing cars.
• STAND OR CROSS the road while it is official closed.
• PLAY GAMES with your safety, or with that of the
competitors.
Road Closures
The road will be officially closed
with the passage of a police car
with red flashing lights and a siren
approximately one hour before the
first car is due. After closure, do not
move onto or across the road, as cars
will pass at approximately 30 second
intervals. The road will be closed up
to 4.5 hours.
Exact road closure times will be
published in the local press, one
week before the event. The road will
be officially opened with the passage
of a marked police car with flashing
bar lights and a siren soon after the
last car has passed. Do not move onto
the road until after the police car has
passed.
Spectators
and Residents
Targa Tasmania is unique for
many reasons, but one of the most
important is that it provides an
unparalleled opportunity to see some
great motorsport action.
Whether from your front doorstep
or the recommended spectator
points, everyone can take part in the
excitement of Targa Tasmania. The
action can be viewed from the special
spectator points recommended by
the organisers for safety and excellent
view of the cars. Please ensure you
read the spectator safety information
before heading to a live Targa Stage.
Official spectator points are indicated
on the special stage maps within
this guide. Some stages go into ‘lock
down’, which means that no one
can enter or leave the stage within
the prescribed time; some spectator
points are viewable from access
roads. Please be sure to check
when your chosen stage closes and
reopens.
Road closure times are listed within
this guide. The maximum road
closure time is four and a half hours.
Safe Watching!
DISCLAIMER - Exclusion of liability, release and assumption of risk:

an accident causing property damage, injury, or death. In exchange for being able to attend or participate in the event, you hereby acknowledge that the entry to the

Being the first day of the event, this is your
best chance to see the entire field in action!
See the quick cars jump over Low Head Main
Road on William Street, negotiate the complex
chicane on Macquarie Street or mingle with
the teams in Regent Square after their run.
A favorite stage of home town hero Jason
White and within easy drive of Devonport,
the junction of Buster Road and Melrose
Road is a great location to check out
his form in the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 9, his
replacement for the ill-fated Lamborghini.
Famed as home of the Australia Grand
Prix in the 50’s and 60’s, motorsport is still
alive and well in the township of Longford
with more than two decades of history
hosting a Targa Tasmania town stage.
Best viewing is had on George Street, between
William and Archer Streets.

Described by those who might know, as the
best rally stage in the world! Drive in from
Sheffield on Claude Road to the junction of
Oilvers Road.
A stage that has a long history under varying
names, the junction of Camena Road and
Stotts Road has it all with a quick approach,
bridge crossing then hard turn into an uphill
sprint. Great viewing close to Burnie.
For the committed spectator getting in prior to
road closure, the 99 bends and moonscape
elevating up out of Queenstown provide
spectacular viewing of both the targa field and
media helicopters!
