Targa Newfoundland

Targa Newfoundland is the first and only event of its kind to be held in North America. It is an annual event and forms a 2200 km long, high quality automotive adventure. It is held over a seven-day period in September of each year on the paved roads of the eastern and central parts of the island of Newfoundland.

The event allows the owners of historic, classic and modern sporting motor vehicles to drive them the way they were designed to be driven. In the event each vehicle competes against itself on a handicap basis as well as against other vehicles. The competition is for Targa plates which every competitor can win. There is no prize money.

The vehicles and crews compete on public roads in transit sections which follow all of the rules of the road and "Targa" or speed sections which are held on roads closed to the general public. The Targa sections represent about 25% or the total course.
